Check it out though, his feedback is private, and he has one comment in there which is negative.

I find it hard to believe that even if that system was worth a damn that those tiny cartridges hold enough gas to do you much good....

Watch the "demonstration video." What the hell does a revving engine have to do with anything? LOL!

Can I put those underneath my seat? I can flip up the seat bottom just before the start of a 4 car, 5 minute, 1/4 mile race.

I thought the whole thing was a joke. Then I realized, hey they're serious. They must be on something.

BS

"First of all, Nitrous Oxide has miniscule amounts of sulfur (like 3 parts per million) which are there to keep people from huffing it. The reason nitrous systems inject "dangerous" amounts of nitrous oxide is because they have to to raise cylinder pressure, which is what increases horsepower. Secondly, 100 POUND BOTTLES?! Thats a lot of nitrous. Maybe in F&F2, but most bottles are 10-20 pounds of N20 and another 10-15 of metal. And you spend "hundreds of dollars refilling them" because N20 costs money. I'll bet the same amount of nitrous in CO2 cartriges would cost 5 times as much. Everyone knows refills are cheaper than disposable stuff. Is it easy to install? I hope so. I could easily punch a hole in my CAI and stick a basketball needle in it, then duct tape the needle in place. But it wouldn't make my car faster . Are they cheap? Yeah, but piston return springs give you more horsepower for less money . And I've yet to see a $4000 nitrous system. And they start at much less than $700, too.
And the #1 reason the Nitrous Mini is total BS....(drumroll please)
no triggering system. The site says no electronics, so how do you activate it?! By screwing in the cartridges. So either experience the rush of NAWZ parked with your hood up, or get a friend to screw about 20 of those cartridges into your intake hanging out the window while you zoom down the 1/4 mile.
In conclusion, the Nitrous Mini is safe. So is farting in your intake tube. But neither will make your car faster."

Does that mean I should stop farting in my intake too.
