Any value in adding NOS for C5Z for autocross?
It seems like a cost effective way to get very brief bursts of substantial power while leaving the rest of the engine intact. How quickly and predictably is the extra power available?
This would be in addition to A6 tires and some suspension mods.
Any comments?

I apprciate that NOS does not fit in with the rules.
Independently of that and only for curiosity's sake, can anyone tell me how progressive or sudden the change in power is when NOS system comes on (at full throttle)?

You should ask that question in the drag racing section.

NOS comes on hard and quick from my experience. I have a 125 shot wet system (577 rwhp / 586 rwtq. After arming the system it is set to come on above 3500 rpm and WOT only. I also run DE's but have to remove the tanks, etc for those. NOS is for playing on the street and drags.

I believe that some WW2 fighters used Nitrous for "war emergencies" at full throttle only and for short periods of time. I believe that it was also an on / off arrangement.

germans pioneered the system for high altitude perfomance (to compensate for thinner air). Nothing like a turbocharged or a supercharged BMW V12 motor with a nitrous button!
allies installed NO2 systems on some Mustangs as well

A little kid at the track once asked me, "You got NOS in that thing?"
Me: "No...why?"
Little Kid: "You wanna win...don't ya?"
I think he had just finished watching The Fast and The Furious. So, my answer to this post is...only add NOS if you wanna win.
