Great races!

Good luck with the Nano kit. Mine worked mint on the dyno, but always gave me problems on the street and track so I took it off the car. A lot of people I talked to had similar problems and no longer use it.

This thread talks about some of the issues:

https://ls1tech.com/forums/nitrous-o...questions.html

Also, back to back runs my car ran consistently 3 mph slower with the Nano, even though it made 30 hp more on the dyno. That was with a pre-cooled bottle to ensure the pressure wasn't too high.

My last issue, which is more minor, is that there's not an easy way to determine how much nitrous is left in the bottle. They say that when the valve on the Nano tank hits 1000 psi then it's time to refill, but sometimes it seemed to pull strong until that point and sometimes it ran out before then. Also, if you vent some nitrogen from the nitrous bottle to keep the pressure down (turn the nitrous bottle upside down and crack it open) then it seems to throw it off too. You can't go by weight since the nitrogen enters the nitrous tank and the weight stops dropping before the pressure on the Nano tank drops to 1000 psi.
