was fully bolted on stage 2 + 2.9 pulley and a 60 shot. ran 18 bottles through the car before it started slipping. and it would only slip after several back to back pulls on the nitrous. you just have to treat it right. no banging gears on spray, and let the clutch reach full engagement before getting back on the nitrous

banging them gears is the best part. if the clutch holds thats like half a car dude.

16 bottles... ****, i gotta catch up.

I run 2 stages of 35 each ,have so for about 4 bottles with no problems except for that one time mentioned below . The second stage is on thumb switch only use it 5th gear 4500 rmp it takes me to red line in about 2 seconds, I also have a CryO2 system on a front mount heat exchanger that flows post the stock HE then to the motor. I had it spraying with the second stage in 4th gear at about 3500rmp
and spun the clutch abit (RPMs climbed but vehicle speed didn't), scarred the **** out of me so haven't done that since until I get a heavier clutch.

Before upgraded to the 2 stage I was running a 50 shot it hit so hard I was concerned about the axles a CV joints, I find that 70 in two stages is much smoother.

How's that work with torque steer? I have the LSD it's not so bad on my car (torque steer) and I found that after I had the Sportlines installed the leveling efect of those springs' geometry put the car nearly to anti-squat. How does you car handle?

It's actually not too bad at all. Believe it or not I get more torque steer OFF the bottle than with it at 1100psi.

22 bottles of a 60 shot at around 1000psi sound like the LSJ likes nitrous?
