How did that work? How was it injeted ?

Most of the refill bottles are supose :( to have 65 pounds in them .I figure they would not last to long.

My car usally uses about 2 pounds per pass.

I ran it in a SBC powered 20' Baja and it was very fun! Our lake is very short and the NOS was perfect for 5 - 6 MPH on top end. I ran 100 HP which was good for about five 8 - 10 second passes and I only hit the button once I reached top end or very close to top end speeds. Motor turned 6100 RPM natural and 6500 RPM on the NOS. I used a NOS Sniper Kit. I agree it isn't a good choice for offshore racing, but in our case it was a lot of fun!! Nitrous is a good fit for drag racing!! I spanked a lot of guys with mildly blown BBC's with that set-up!! :D

strip i believe it was injected after the gear driven supercharger and acted like a large intercooler

Like a dry system .they must of not put very mush ih it to make it last that long.


The bottles must be bigger that the standard refill bottle

One of the tricks we used on our street cars was to plum a seperate fuel cell with hi octane fuel in it, that ws hooked strictly to nitrous , so when you hit the button, you were dumping, the hi octane in with the nitrous and controled the burn longer.

Intake and exhaust are O.K. but I want to stop there for now and enjoy my new hot rod.

So who are the go-to people for NOS kits?

What motor are you talking about?
