i get 3-4 minutes of nitrous per bottle.. this sounds like a SMALL amount.. but think that most 1/4 mile races are 13 seconds or less.. adn there is shiftign times factor into that when you are NOT on the nitrous.. so yeah it lasts a while...

and NO that is a plate kit.. if i remember correctly theturbo one is a similar one to the NX kit.. single nozzle fuel and nitrous... i will call nelson from NOS for you tomorrow and find out what the kit number is and any more info abotu turbo adn juice.. another factor is nitrous is multiplied through other forced induction (turbo/blower) there is some odd kinda formula for it... like times 2 plus 10% to factor nitrous on turbo or blower....

ex: 25 shot on a mild turbo is like a 55 shot... do not quote me on that but its pretty close

Be careful with Nitrious. An engine can only withstand so much for a certain amount of time.

For occassional nitrous use only. Not for use with other types of forced induction.

My opinion is that run a decent size turbo and don't worry about nitrous. Nitrous with turbo is just another factor in the tuning aspect that you don't want to fugg with...just run more boost.

Ok, like I said, I've never been a fan of Nitrous, but I thought I'd look into it.

I can't wait to boost!! :naughty:
