Topic says it all. Did you notice any difference in 1/4 time?

No, but a cool toy to have. Alos helps get the air out of the line when you put in a refilled bottle.

If your car sits for a long time with your bottle on, you are suppose to purge before you make a run so you will have liquid N20 right up to the solinoid....

u wont see a ET gain or anything but it does hit a little harder. I have also never had a problem with trash in system since I started using a purge. I used to have NOS noid with a screen in the line and it always got clogged up. (NX has filters too) but purge helps

Not faster, but much cooler.

In casual street racing, there is nothing like the look you get from the guy at the stop light when you purge at him.

Car 32k
NOS Purge 100 bucks
The look on the other guys face when he realizes that he just called out a bottle fed 346 V8.....PRICELESS

and it helps keep crap out of your system.

purge is good for wet kits, it removes air pockets in the line, preventing momentary hesitation from excessive rich conditions...
