hmmm....very informative bro, im started to learn things now abt NOS.
i have few silly questions: whats the weight of a nitrox jet?
you just said performance boost what that exactly means, speed or power or both?
how long your jet boosts your bike?? does it recharges automatically or do we need to get it filled again???
i really sorry for putting up such silly questions but i dont have any short of knowledge abt NOS.

jet is a small brass thing with a very small hole from which nitrous gas passes, quantity of flow depends on hole of jet. bigger the jet size(hole of jet) more the power but less there will be stress on the engine if excess power is developed. nitrous boosts the bike when button is pressed.
