Then in that case I will edumacate you....what nano does is keep constant bottle pressure thoughout a nitrous run and uses the entire bottle of nitrous, where as a bottle warmer/heater will drop in pressure over a nitrous run, thus losing HP/TQ thoughout the run, plus you only are really able to use about little more then half a bottle before you start seeing a big drop in bottle pressure. And it's not really bad at all filling the bottle, if I'm conversitive about it, I only fill her up every 2 months.

If your only filling that thing up once every two months I would assume the wifey drives the car much more than you... Hell my car is always hitting boost if I am out for a ride. I guess its very true. Bottle = limited fun....

Zturd told me that huffers were for slow people and the the juice was the way to go. Gotta love the instant torque!!!!! My rear is maybe a little more then what the 10 bolt was in weight, so thats not hurting me at all.

Who says you can't have a blower and have instant torque?

Then again my car never gets driven and rarely sees boost.

I'm diggin the new setup, I need to read up more on it. I would think you'd still want to heat the bottle and not just throw the cold nitrous in there.

Well I can agree on that when it's a roots type blower, but centrifugals I'd think wouldn't. Another benefit I would think from the nano is that fact that your not throwing a warm spray into the intake charge as it can heat up the incoming air as well, the nano replaces the empty part of the bottle with either compressed air or nitrogen, which then pushes the heavier N2O to the bottom where the siphon tube is, thats how it's able to keep a constant pressure all the time even with one pound of nitrous left.

Here's a good article and thread to read...

With the 4500kit I have I've heard of the nitrous bottle emptying before the nano bottle, but basically whenever the nitrous needs filled you should get the nano filled or topped off, it's suppose to be a 1-1 ratio.
