System bottlenecks and limitations I haven't found anything that is clear about the exact limits of some aspects of a nitrous system.
What flow potential does a -3, -4, -6 line have for nitrous?
What flow potential does a -3,-4 line have for fuel? (4 bar fuel pressure)
What are the max flows for the industry leader's nozzles: NX Shark, NX Pihrana, NOS (whichever their's are, I forgot the names), Compucar/nitrous works/etc), NOSzles, NX Nozzles, etc.

Our Shark Nozzle is standard form will flow 250hp, in the larger SHO form you are looking at 400hp.
NITROUS
-3 Line is good for 200hp
-4 Line is good for 400hp
-6 Line is good for 600+hp
FUEL
-3,-4, and -6 all depends on what fuel pressure it is at.

I'm pretty sure Ricky is right. High horsepower kits come with a special line. Its a #4 line with a #3 fitting on one side to connect to the nozzle. Thats how you run a shark nozzle up to 250hp.
