Autoxing wiht NOS is not a very good idea. It is used for straightaways,
where there aren't too many in autox courses. I'll give you an example of
how power doesn't make as much difference as you think in an autox. Me and
Alex Fernandez went autoxing one day. He in his auto 1.6L and me in my
manual SE-R. Well, driver skill accounts for more than anything. I
probably had around 30+ hp to the wheels on him but I only beat him by half
a second. The sudden power change the NOS would provide would probalby
make you lose control in a turn. Not a good idea. Consider this as well.
MOst of the straightaways in an autox course are usually slaloms too.
Imagine NOS during a slalom. Not good. Use NOS for what it was intended
for, the dragstrip.
