Default Just hit the NOS for the first time!

I sprayed on the way home from school tonight. The first time I sprayed I was on the on-ramp to I-290, going about 40MPH @ 2800RPM. I hit the arming switch @ WOT.... It didn't slam me back into my seat, at all - in fact, I was wondering if it was even spraying (i thought maybe i left the bottle closed.) But by the time I had thought those things, I looked at the speedo and I was going 90. Then I sprayed @ 60mph, and within like 4 or 5 seconds I was going well over 100. Absolutely insane. That *did* put me back in my seat (the vette puts me back in my seat from like 0-60 normally, but above 70 or 80 you don't feel it.) With the NOS, you definetly feel it. I'm happy with the install and looking forward to getting it on the dyno soon.

You did not say what shot?
Try it off the line and see what you get.
As the presure drops you get less power.

Default First hit of spray

Glad you enjoyed your bottle experience. I absolutely love what N2O can do. You can have a 400 horsepower engine that is rock solid in the bottom end and run a low lift easy on the valve train camshaft and hit it with another 300 horsepower and have a daily driven rocket ride when you depress the button! With N2O you can have the best of both worlds. Happy Hot Rodding!

I used to be a N2O hater, but then I figured it was like fighting, there are no rules (when it comes to making power)

Be soft spoken and carry a big bottle!
