Default Nitrous on Nitro RC Cars

Just starting this hobby, and of course I'm already trying to find out how to squeeze more hp out of this very little motor. I found a company that makes nitrous kits for the Nitro RC Cars www.jagrc.com My problem is that for that kit they want $90 , I'm trying to make up my own nitrous kit, notice those small nitrous tanks on their website, do any of you nitrous guys think that you could refill those? It's just amazing that those little motors can produce that kind of power, The one that I ordered (will be here tomorrow ) will produce about 1.5hp stock! Then I'm going to add a blower, nitrous, slicks, better exhaust, etc.. Stock the car can reach about 65-70mph, afterwards I imagine I be able to break the 100mph mark! I have seen one do 102mph already, these little things are pretty damn fast. Just wanted to share my new exciting hobby with you guys. If any of you DFW guys are into this hobby maybe once I get mine built we can drag race, maybe even take them to the track and kill some unsuspecting Lightnings .

I used to be a sponsored r/c car driver. I got out of the hobby a few months ago, I just don't have the time or money anymore to compete at the high level. If you have any questions just ask

It cost about 1 grand to get started with a decent setup.
