Nice run, how do you think you engine is doing health wise? Looks like it’s making good power for such a low cost. I know Lexus made these cars bullet proof I’m wondering what the capabilities really are. Any way to tell if there has been any deterioration or damage internally?

i feel that my car is fine even off the bottle it has loads of power. I only use this for grudge racing that is pre set up. I only spray at the right Tank pressures. usually a full bottle. The nos was tuned at a shop with me changing the necessary jets to get my AFR 0.5 richer than a NA pull. I rarely use it. i also changed the plugs this year and they were just brown. And after i changed them off the bottle the car was much more responsive. but car seems perfectly fine!

what's the power of the rcf with nos? Would be great if you can run it against a supercharged rcf from rr

As for now with the choices we currently have, I'd much rather run nos over the RR supercharger.
RR supercharger is a poor investment IMO (very small gain for huge amount of money). Hopefully the new rumors of a supercharger from a different company are good as it's hyped up to be.

Would you mind elaborating on these new rumors of a new supercharger?

Super chargers can only do so much. Plus, there is a balance between horsepower gains and reliability. I will take reliable gains in horsepower over massive gains that lead to early failure of the block.

Are you going to install the new Super Charger once the company releases it? You can report back on reliability. That would be interesting.

NOS used by a mature person and installed and used correctly is less stress than blower.
