Im actually very impressed, I basically have 50bhp jets to start with so I can get used to gearing etc and have today ordered a set of 75bhp jets for the rolling road day and Trax. Im happy just using the 50bhp jets on the road and on odd occasions going with 75s or 100s. The difference is REALLY nice, you can just hear the NOS being jetted in. I also have a funky purge valve for clearing the line when I need to which gives that nice white cloud out of the side of my car *You might have seen this on 2Fast2Furious as Paul W does this in his Skyline when he pulls up to the race... could get expensive tho :P*

Well Im game, having less power is kind of against me but then I do have the advantage of not having a serious amount of sound dedaning and amps and speakers etc so, yeah it could definatly be a good laugh!!!

Can't wait to see you'll at Trax then....Does the traction control system handle the extra power? . Bet it goes like a fcukin rocket, surprizes the life out of other boy racers!....

Well what I've tended to do when using NOS in first gear... only tried it a couple of times but i found that pulling away at around just under max torque makes a nice squeak from the tires and when the car is clear hit full throttle to get the NOS flowing and it flies up the range, kick, I change as it hits 6,100ish as the rev counter lags... im gonna practice over the next few days, im probably doing it all wrong but ya know... these things take time...
There is nothing quite like the sound of the gas filling the line as you open the bottle :biggrin:
it doesnt hang around!

I got it fitted in a place in Salisbury.. well its a ctually Amesbury which is a small town outside of Salisbury, the place is called AM Autotech and they will do anything at all, they currently have the instruction manual for the Vortec supercharger to see how much its gonna cost to install :P, well an estimate at best..
