I'm not considering it (at the moment) but would like some info on how it works.

When ya flip the switch, how long does the 'boost' last?

How dangerous is it as far as possibly breaking stuff?

How long does a typical size bottle last?

Give me a bunch of info - I'm a dummy when it comes to nitrous.

1. the boost lasts as long as you have your foot on the gas with a wide open switch.

2.Typical power adder breaking possibilities......most problems are associated with trans and motor(not typical) Possibly rearend if sprayed out of the hole

3.Really depends on what size shot you are spraying. I don't get 10 passes anymore with the big shot.

4.Nitrous has come along way. It's definately not as "dangerous" as it used to be back in the day. With all of the safety features, testing, etc its really very safe to use on a daily basis. Just make sure you have the fuel system to support it, and get your air/fuel spot on. BTW.....its very addicting!!!

Yeah I keep hearing how addicting it is, but still not ready to do it. It's still bouncing around my head though. Thanks for the info - much appreciated.

JUICE IT!!!!! You won't be disappointed. Definately best bang for your buck, as long as you keep the bottle filled.

The Spray is awesome!! I'm a fan of Blowers and Nitrous both. But Nitrous is way cheaper to operate and install. It's badass instant power. Contact Dave's Nitrous Outlet or another one of our nitrous sponsors and they will break it down for you very well.
