I'd say put that money into the new engine this summer, ya can't run nitrous around corners.  However, your really gona kick that red ludes ass now <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>  How much are you planning on running?

when you (purge) your gettiing the air out of the lines if you ever watch drag racing on tv and you see like air shooting up from hood. their purging before the run suposed to be safer less chance of things blowing up

Oh, that kicks ass!  I saw a guy shoot something through his windshield once (plastic, didn't shatter) just at his launch...dono if it had anything to do with purge but it was like a foot from his head <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

So is it the same effect as a bov?  I know, i know works totally different but does it serve the same purpose?  So they can press their button before they launch and it lets off the air it doesn't need?

Save up for the RB man...
Also, STOP CALLING IT NOS!!!!  No offense or malintent, but NOS is just one company that makes nitrous - it just got a great advertising deal in F&F, so everyone calls nitrous NOS.  The fact that you're getting a Zex system means it is NOT NOS.

Sorry...hehe...
