It was a fast and furious joke.
I think nos would be best used in small doses to bring the car on boost and then let the turbo do its bit....
It does work well for that, but it also works well once you are on boost, so I just left it on
isn't this what Rod used it for as opposed to top end stuff...I.e. fill in the gaps? This way you can run bigger turbo for more boost and just cover the gap until the engine comes on cam and on full boost. David Vizard used to do thismonmthe a series back in the day.
No Rod was using it fully as a power adder, in fact on the wet run they did on 5th gear they didnt even activate it until they changed up at 170mph in order to limit wheel spin.
Thats when he went over to the nitrogen setup as before then he had been suffering a lot with bottle pressure drop, which you get when you use a big hit of gas for a long time and the bottle temp doesnt have time to recover.
(Id actually told him this long before, but he only believed me after that famous 5th gear run, lol)
