ok, Davo,  help me understand what were up
against, with high nitrous volumes in the
intake port.....been pondering
just this effect,  and how much our
already rich mixture is possibly falling
out of the mix at nearly liquid injection,
on the high volume per ci applications,
ie high volume of n20 per port size

seriously have been wondering about the
inconsistency that some folks have with
high hp nitrous,  ie pro mod,  and the
vapor temp/pressure of the fuels needed
for detonation resistance and the combintation
with the nearly minus 120 or so degree medium
that is carrying this fuel


ANY feedback appreciated

Joe :)
