3000RPM's! Hell, that's nothing to complain about, even if you don't like lag. It's when it don't kick in until the higher RPM's that it gets annoying. I know what you mean though, s/c. There's nothing like that 'what the hell just happened' look on someones face when they get there doors blown off from behind. .

i understand the ideas of NOS 2/3rds Oxygen is pretty volatile when burned.. and youre right the lean condition is what causes it to go BOOM!.. but if youre educated you wouldnt need to use it anyway.. and i love how people think they got the upperhand until i get to 2500 and all of a sudden im closin in and its byebye for them.. and thats when i say 'Z ya!'

Yeah, but the nos itself isn't flammable, that extra oxygen just makes the ignition that much more powerful because of it's presence. If you tried to burn pure nos, nothing would happen, you need fuel to make the ignition happen in the first place. That's when it becomes flammable. If you look at a nos bottle it has a green label(I'm pretty sure greens the color I'm thinking of), which means non-flammable.

Using nos as a power adder is risky business, especially when you're relying on mechanical solenoids to activate that extra fuel. If something fails, and the fuel doesn't get delivered, It's BOOM. It's great for strictly drag cars that see fulltime fuel enrichment. In those cases you can easily add as much power as a turbo can with out running any more risk then running high boost.
