FBO? Meth? whats left?

Nitrous Oxide!

So anyone had any experience with Nitrous?? for some reason i get the impression it's more usable at the strip and not the track any thoughts

I mean there is a whole page on the JB4 software for nitrous and it seems like a shame to let it go to waste

NOS is definitely for use on the drag strip and not circuit racing.
It's not that complicated to run it on our cars but you really need to know what your doing (as you already do) and log every run with it. Definitely let this one go mate. Just get yourself a set of upgraded turbos and be done with it pavo, but it's currently not worth it for $5500 installed for a 10-12% gain in hp IMO. If you want more you'll have to shell out $10-12k (will definitely eventuate to much more if not close to double, just ask Kenny) for the single. If you've got the disposable $$$ then who cares, Just do it. Don't think you can swing that one by the Mrs.

Just be happy with the way your car goes. You've taken me for a ride in it and it's great just not as customized as my ride.

Unfortunately yes. You may be able to squeeze a little more out but just remember the other issue 'Traction' but your car im sure has 100000 times better grip than mine. I'm sure you wont have a problem finding things to spend your monies on.

So true Paul. I'm sure that cartoon in my sig goes for 99.9999999% of people on this forum.

There's a whole DIY and review post somewhere of a guy who put NOS in his N54.

New F&F film out soon?

Lots of stress on the engine, Pete's probably the best one to talk to about it rather than on the forum. People have been running them on Skyline's and rotaries for years.
