The crappy part about nitrous in my opinion is that unless you pay the scrilla for a remote bottle opener you sometimes find yourself without the juice. Also you'll need a bottle warmer for the cooler months. |
Good points Jen,
Yes, a purge is a must for this system. Nitrous Express claims 'A purge valve is usually worth about one tenth decrease in E.T.' Maybe, but it's value to reduce the chance of detonation from a fog filp-flop is more important to me. It's also imperative to check the jets regularly for clogs. Again, I wanted to test the core install prior to throwing any more cash at it. I ordered the purge last week ($120) and pressure gauge ($55). The bottle warmer is sitting on my bench and I'll install that come fall.
A remote opener would probably be a good investment for off-track use. BTW, I would love to have seen you jump out and spin the top of your bottle! Guessing the Mustang stayed in your mirror?
