NOS (Nitrous Oxide Systems) is a brand, not an abbreviation for nitrous oxide. The correct abbreviation is N2O.

From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.
OP - I would read up on the limited TQ that the MR trans can handle. And I like to only use one power adder at a time. I.e. - turbo or super or nitrous. Unless you have a massive turbo and need it to help spool-up. Look into what your trans can handle first, then into E85 (basically cheap race gas), then into dropping the weight of your car (lighter car is a quicker car).

And if all of this was just for street racing Ill shut it down.

This thread wasnt meant for street racing, but just out of interest. I think i will do the E85 tune in spring. What advantages over 93 oct does it have.

This thread is dumb.

E85 has 105 octane. If you're tuned for it you're going to see big gains.

E85 needs huge injectors as well as a full custom tune.

E85 is ethonol.....a cleaner burn, higer octane, unleaded. Ment so you can run more timing.

More timing=More hp with a good tune.

dont no about the miles per gallon thou., but its like running your car on c16 race fuel at quadroopel less of a price lol

if you have it at your hands your dumb not to use it....i wish it was on the east coast all we got is 93 and 110 race fuel for $8.70 a gallon haha
