Default Nitrous Oxide Performance Handbook

Stuck on the rig for Thanksgiving, figured I would order something to cheer me up, hit Amazon dot com and got the Nitrous Oxide Performance Handbook by Jeff Hartman. They flew it out on the chopper today for me . Have not read through it yet, but saw some multiple Nitrous Outlet products in the book, as well as an older panel I made 860 Performance and some other products like NANO are included in the book as well (even some evil WON products)

Got to the track this year three times and Finally did some passes on spray. Still tweaking. LOL probably the slowest Nitrous Vette out there, but I am having fun with it!

Hi Jim,
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! Enjoy the read.

Went to the dyno 2 weeks ago to get the NANO tuned FINALLY. Ran out of injector at 4,000 RPM sooo needless to say I could not do anything as far as the spray. Good thing was the car was 403 at the wheels and that's was with not being able to add timing since we couldn't get the needed fuel.
Can't wait to get the new injectors and then get out on the dyno for a real tune...

I'm going to have to look into it. Delivery wise was that the mailman in a helicopter or do you guys have your own mail service?

That is pimp. Does the book get into how to read plugs? From what I have read on this forum that is the most important thing.

We have a chopper or two every day M-F and sometimes weekends if needed. Pretty much tell the Heliport a package is coming and what it is, and have it delivered to the Heliport, and the rig dispatcher will have it on the manifest to get flown out to the rig.

w/ Delphi 42 # injectors I am logging I think 77% Injector Duty cycle.
Best times for me this season is

1/4 NED 12.18 @ 120 spraying 100 Dry @ 4200-6200 (@ NED, spraying @ 2800 I had traction issues)
1/8 Oxford 7.58 @ 93 spraying 100 Dry @ 2800-5800

Should easily get an 11 sec slip next year, ditch the BFG Drags for ET Streets, work on my launches, and find the sweet spots for the RPM settings for the two tracks.

I am setting up a NANO fill station at the house and changing over from heater to NANO. The last track session I drove the car down (Sprayed against a bike on the way to the track , from the data logger went 70 to 102 in 2 seconds). I usually trailer it of course it died a half mile from the track going home (106 miles from the house)! Think its electrical issues, probably heating the bottle at idle fer a while, battery was dead (hence NANO being moved up the priority list).

I picked up the book from Amazon a month or two ago. I have not had time to read it yet but I did thumb through it. The book did look to have alot of information. Jeff has writin quite a few technical and they all look to have good ratings. I will try to read mine over the next week or so.
