Hey, so if you did have nitrous, when do you use it? Like, in first gear? Second? Right at the bottom of the rev range or what? And how long does a shot last?

first thing to know is that its called nitrous. not nos, that makes you sound like a ricer. nos is a brand. its like calling gas exxon or chevron.

the company most commonly used for the rx8 is zex.

there is currently only one real option being used. 55 wet shot. Use it whenever you'd like. You flip the power switch and at wide open throttle it kicks in.

Go to the Nitrous Thread posted by alz0rz. I have a 65 wet shot but it has been painstakingly tuned by Mazdamaniac on the dyno for about 2+ hours to get this to work.

Just read that thread and you should find everything you need to know.
