Hi All
Trev is right as usual lol...
There is an assumption here on this site that Nitrous is "just" for Drag Racing...
I have totally the opposite view for various reasons, primarily because I used to be a Top Fuel crew cheif so have run engines and cars that ran 5`s.... which I am never going to beat with my little old daily driver lol...
So my attitude is that Nitrous has many uses other than drag racing... Top Speed runs...daily driver etc etc...
As an example, the effect of bringing in say 600 hp of WON Nitrous when my 928 gets to around 140 mph has to be felt to be believed
Perfect and utterly smooth power....its extremely addictive... plus I can enjoy it for MUCH longer than anyone who drags can....hence the reason for my twin 15lb bottles lol.
Its not unusual for me to run under Nitrous for 2 or 3 MILES.... now thats huge fun
Lets put it this way, as far as using my 928 as a daily driver plus WON Nitrous, I have NEVER found ANY car on the road that can beat me at ANY speed (up to 70 mph of course)
That statement includes many many "supercars"...
So although I hold a Uk drag record , and a UK Top Speed record for 928`s , I would never bother with slicks as an example as all I have to do is turn up the power on the REVO/MAXX and I can beat my own record, without slicks, but unless someone beats my record I may not bother, or I may lol, depending on my mood
Trev is also right about my right foot lol, when I do run the 1/4, although I know I could probably beat my record with only a couple of hundred hp, its MUCH more fun with a lot more lol
All in all my WON Nitrous gives me a huge amount of fun on both quarters and top speed and as a daily driver, and it relaxes me from my businesses.
When I went up to Doncaster to Won recently for the latest MAXX Race version 2, I said its "like being on my holidays" and it is lol... a great bunch of people who indulge me in the way I like to run my car and help me set it up the way I like it, now that may not be the way a drag purist would do it, but it works for me
All the best Brett
