Shiv:



I've been considering that very idea to use on demand with my Sebring

for all the benefits that you listed.  My thinking is to have a switch

under the accelerator pedal that enables the NOS only with full pedal

depression.  A master switch at the bottle, of course, so unknowing

friends won't blow through the weeds.  A future project.



I've heard that some installations use separate injectors to each

cylinder for the NOS.  Do you know anything about this?
