Default bracket race with n2o?

I never used n2o and i was wondering if it is difficult to bracket race using
n2o? I want to know if you lose consistancy in et from one run to the next or if it is about the same?

id say you would unless you had something lik a nano system. it'd be hard to keep the bottle pressure consistent so that would cause fluctuation in the et's

NANO would make it reasonable. The key is to keep the tune up the exact same every time, so pressure fluctuation is your enemy in a bracket race.

I have with a small shot say a 50. Its fun to hit it and watch the sand baggers break out when they come up next 2 u and think they have u covered.

a small 50 hit would be great just for "atmosphere" and will help with consistantly as long as you could maintain your bottle pressure (pretty easy for 50). It gets costly filling a bottle or 2 weekly racing.
