cost in the long run. to fill a bottle is about 30-40 bucks. so two bottles your talking 60-80 bucks a pop. a 150 shot will last maybe 3 passes down the track, possibly 4. so in one night you can kill 60-80 bucks worth of nitrous.
go to the S$$$T RACES and do a few 30-130 runs, and that bottle will be toast even sooner.
boost is gonna be there each and every time you stab the throttle. i will always go back to a race my friends did between a srt4 at about 290whp and a 24v vr6 on an 80 shot. first run, very close, second run, not so close, third run, even worse. he didnt have a bottle warmer so that def hurt even more, the the bottle was drained either way.
bottlewarmerless FTL.

Really?
Any backwoods hillbilly can grab a bottle, drill a hole in his intake tube and spray a 50shot.
They get greddy and screw around, turn it up, and 50 becomes 75, or 100 until something blows
OMGN20ISBAD!!1!11!
No, it's b/c they don't have the proper parts to support the mod.
Injectors/tuning/common sense/etc.
Point is, if done correctly nitro is very fun and SAFE.
Regardless of the refilling aspect, even @ 60 bucks a pop, you are still hard press to put 6k worth of nitrous passes in the car..lol, which his a good round number for a complete turbo kit.
yes/no?
Sidenote: I've never owned a nitrous powered car, "yet".

[QUOTE=directportjuicedS2k,Jul 9 2009, 03:27 PM] With all do respect, this has nothing to do with my questions. Boost/Juice both have pros and cons. Yours is always on tap, awesome. I still spent 1/4 of what you did to get a faster E/T and higher trap speed then you

Man your angry lol, it was more like island dragway anyway, chill out, ill give you some of the $4000 more i saved then you.
oh, and you can paypal me the money, i will consider it your lesson charge.
ps, heres the answer to your question. aem ems can have a seperate fuel/ignition map for your nitrous setup. you can also control the nitrous activation/deactivation if you boost the car later, ie using it to spool huge turbo.
with the progressive controller, i would presume you would just tune for the full 150, and during the ramp up on the shot, it would just run fuel/timing for the full 150, so perhaps for less then 1 sec during the ramp up you would be a bit fat in the tune. i woudlnt even use the progressive controller, and i would ditch the whole zex setup in favor of the aem ems doing all the work.
just have the shot kick in around 45-50 mph and that would be a sick kick in the pants. if you get better tires, i would lower the mph it kicks in. i wouldnt worry to much about drive train destruction, hard shifting and launching is much worse to the diff then a 150 hp jump while already in gear.

Comparing FI to NOS, in the long run I'd assume NOS would be worse for your engine. True FI is always there always working, but NOS is only used sometimes. What kind of wear would this cause on your engine?
