The miggest mistake nitrous users make (besides not upgrading fuel system) is not taking BOTTLE PRESSURE into account.

BOTTLE PRESSURE has a HUGE effect on the hp output of the nitrous system. If the bottle pressure is too low, you will not see a big increase in performance.

Get yourself a pressure gauge and a bottle heater either from ZEX or NX. Both thoose compnies have a thermostat to shut off the heater if it gets to hot so it won't explode.

Start off with the lower HP settings just to get used to the power. And keep an eye on the pressure for each run. you can keep a record of the pressure and your E.T., I'm sure you will see how they are related.
