Nano review Figured I'd give a review on it. First I'll start off with my set up for those who havent seen the previous posts.
My car is a full weight 1999 Camaro SS stock ls1 heads, stock ls1 intake, stock ls1 cam, stock ls1 bottome end. The car has full exhaust(lts into true duals), a shaner s3 t/b, an mti lid. As far as suspension goes it is lowered with a prokit, bmr lca, umi relocation brackets. Tranny is a stock 4l60 with a protorque 3k stall, Custome Top gear shitkit, b&m 24k cooler. The rear end is bone stock never opened up and is a 3.23 car. Tire is a 275/50/15 et street. My nitrous set up is a 78mm HSW plate kit with nano.
I followed nano's instructions and I jetted my fuel up to a .031 which is what hsw calls for on a 125 shot. The install was a breeze, if you can put a pressure guage on a bottle you can remove it and put in a valve to install the nano.
Results:
I went to the track on the 16th of Novermember and the da was around a 2800-2900. My best run on the bottle was:
60.....1.650
330....4.725
1/8th..7.323
mph....93.817
1000....9.506
1/4.....11.462
mph....119.074
My first nano pass in a 2700 da was:
60.....1.547
330....4.521
1/8th..7.040
mph....96.990
1000....00000
1/4.....11.048
mph....123.081
I will admitt the car sat for 2 hours before I ran that is why the rest of the day the times were not the same, plus it heated back up to a typical 3k da az day. On avg if I look at my slips and I have to do it by comparing 1/8th mile, because I was on the brakes the hole day trying to run 11.5's. On avg I was about a .1 and 1.5 mph faster in the 1/8th mile on the nano( car pulled much harder up top though ( let off at the 1000 ft mark). Similar conditions and even on a small shot. Even on a small shot the car pulled much harder up top. I am sold on nano and it allowed me to run consistant every run out for the class I was running in. I ran 6 nano passes and still had 3lbs left in the bottle. I got scared pulled the nano and ran a reg bottle the last pass with the bottle pressure at 1100 and the da dropped back down to around 2k
60.....1.579
330....4.594
1/8th..7.162
mph....94.957
I only have that run to a 1/8th cause I was on the brakes hard. Best comparision I could give though because this run and the nano run were full bottles, non nano had more bottle pressure and it was cooler out.
Also wanted to thank all the sonsors Nano, HSW, and Nitrous Outlet for answering all my questions while i've been trying to get this set up dialed in

Great write up. As any vendor will say it is so great to hear product feedback. It is nice to know that customers such as yourself enjoy the product as much as we do. Thanks for taking the time to write the article.
