Default Hitman Plus Nitrous installed

Well got the system yesterday and installed today. Here are my thoughts so far. Pretty easy to install took about 4 solid hrs for me to do the job. I was double and triple checking everything to insure it was hooked up right.

The Hitman Plus sys now has a 50hp setting so I started there. 50 extra hp is alright you could hear it working and feel a little extra pull. I tried it maybe 4 short bursts from 40 mph to 70 and it gave a nice lil boost. I got bold and tried it just off the line which seemed to feel better. Bottom line 50 extra hp wasn't enough.

I was going to go straight to 200 but I figured I'd better just do a 150 hp setting first. 150 extra hp is a sweet kick in the pants. The motor really stands up and screams. I have to give it a big . I could hit it just off the line too w/o any problems. It would roll the tires for about 20 ft and then just lay ya back. Nice, very nice!

The 200 hp jets call for race fuel which I don't have but I'm running 92 octane with booster. I don't know if I should try 200 but the way the engine ran on 150 I see no problem in the extra 50 hp with my fuel/engine. I may take the chance later as winter starts to set in. If she blows I want it to be as close to time to put it up anyway.

I paid about $375 for the system shipped, add $40 for a 10lb bottle filled. I say its well worth it for the power gain I got.

actually I didn't weigh it so I can't say. I heard a 10 lb bottle last about 7 1/4 mile passes. I take it thats rated off the old std of 125 hp kits.

From what I have read on their instructions its a no no to mix parts. From what I understnd if you mix parts up it impossible to say what could happen or how to jet.

GL just start low with jetting and work up from there.
