thanks :o) Its a Racetested Wetshot System with Maximiser Progressive Controller. It freakin rocks!

Wizards of NOS is the n2o division of a UK based company called HighPower. The products are actually imported into the US and sold under the Racetested name.

... ahh, and a recent one of the truck;



I just had a Borla Pro XS Exhaust installed.
I have a Bamachips Tuner and Edelbrock IAS Shocks coming in a week also ;o)

hehe no kidding. i'd hate to blow my engine.

the progressive system is nice, as it lets me do things like delaying the n2o delivery to avoid initial lean-outs, allowing me to ramp up the amount of n2o/fuel injected by as low as 15% up to 100%, over a user-specified amount of time, up to 10 seconds, so you also avoid the initial hard-hits that can damage engine components.

In addition to the Maximiser features, I have a digital TPS switch and a digital MSD rpm window switch. The digital TPS switch only allows the n2o to activate at a designated throttle position, and the window switch only allows the n2o system to activate between a specified rpm window (currently set to 3200 - 4800)

you just have to be careful of the intake... if that fuel ignites in the intake................
you will have a nice piece of recyclable plastic to take with you when you take you bottles. i have seen them shatter on several occasions...


BTW, Good lookin truck

... you talking about puddling in the intake? yeah thats definitely a concern, however this nozzle is supposed to atomize the fuel pretty well. the below picture shows a Racetested nozzle to the right, and an NX nozzle on the left;

so when should we expect the whipple?

have any other shots of the box, I'd like a better look at the the way the capacitor is sitting, no offence but it looks "sloppy" at that angle, which doesnt match the clean look of the rest of the ride.

it does look a bit funky from that angle... the capacitor and main power wiring runs into a carpeted chamber in the box on the end. it is lit with neons from the inside, and there is a plexiglass window on the front, that makes that little window.
... i'll get some better shots.
