Default A new GTR

So ill start by saying my bottles were just about empty. I havent filled them since the meet at the beach.

Before i left work it was reading 840psi.

So i start my way home and about 5min into the drive i catch a glimpse of a GTR in my rear view and hes making his way through traffic.

I kept an eye on him win or lose i wanted to try.

We finally get side by side but with cars in front i get his attention and politely let him know i would like to test the ***** on that car.

He kinda shrugged me off and we kept going.

we kept geting stuck side by side and i think i finally got to him

he started to get jumpy well we finally cuaght a light together , so i purge and notice im down to about 810-820psi.

he revs up (not bad sounding) and i brake stall slightly light goes green and iswear before my front two wheels crossed the intersection he was half way through i stopped his pull and sat about a car back till 100 mph he let my try again but i just didnt have the juice to put up a fight.

I tryed grabbing my phone so i can snap a pic or video so the BS flag wouldnt be raised but i butter fingered the phone between the sets and couldnt reach it.

Depends on a lot of things. For example if you only spray a few times a year $200 in N20 a year is going to take a long time to pay off $4000+ for a FI setup. If you race every weekend it would be a different story
