Trevor and others,

I have recently read about progressive NO2 systems, which allow the
introduction of the NO2/gasoline mixture at lower rpms, (2,500-3,000) but
bring up the total volume, hence boost slowly, allowing controlled boost.
This is where the month of usage may come from.  YOu use a lot less "gas" at
lower rpm's.  This gives more of a controlled HP increase as opposed to the
more traditional, full pedal, microswitch controlled WFO application only.
It is also easier on the bottom end and, in my opinion, and probably more
fun, although I am by no means a NO2 expert, more like a student, just
learning more and more each day.

Jack
