I am debating putting nitrous on my 800 xp for those trips out west to try to make back some of the power lost from the altitude. I absolutely cannot afford to be popping motors so......Is it a save and reliable mod or is it something that should only be handle be experts?
To gain back hp lost at elevation?will you only be at elevation for 3 or4 minutes aday? Nos goes quick, some one can probably narrow it down for you but but 40 seconds per pound sound good? a three pound bottle for 2 mintues of fun. how much do you think you will need to pack to use it at elevation all day? And once you feel the power it is no fun going without. if i were you i would figure something else out.
I struggled with the same thing beginning of this season. I figured by the time I throw a nitrous system, boondocker box, and some form of gauge at my M7, it's only a little bit more to run an 800 bigbore and you get that extra 20-30hp all day every day.
Boondockers kit and AFR gauge cost $1600 (with twin bottles and mount assembly for tunnel rails on 800 Dragon). some days I will go through 1 bottle, but have never gone through both. Don't use it too much, going to take it off and sell it this summer. Takes some of the fun and skill out of the ride. Saves maybe two digouts a day and was good for a one a day "OH SH!T" save. All in all the ride is more fun without the NOS. That's only my opinion, some have more of a need for power and the high mark. If that is you, then NOS is easy cheap and no race gas.
