Default Just wondering ?

I wonder what one of these NOS kits would do to a
Hurricanes Performance ? or would you even survive
to find out ?

I'll stand for the inheritance of the remaining few dollars of Sprocks vast wealth through your estate when his NO2 kit (which you'll have inherited) has finished with you. Is that OK?
Mark have you been stiffing the free sample they sent you? Be grounded this instant you nut case! Or have those new bars given you wings...... and a big throbber?
Jeez! Is rationality going out of fashion or something?

It's less a question of "Would it go faster?" and more a question of "How long would the pistons and/or rods hold out?". I have a feeling with the small engine size and high compression the question would be answered in a matter of seconds rather than minutes.

Hear ya probably a little of everything pistons rods crank and valves but I suppose it would depend on how well regulated the introduction of nos would be.

Seen plenty of Busa and ZX14 "tube" vids with nos kits on them but chances the
motors are bulked up to handle it !

Just for giggles I looked a bit into the drag bikes (Busa/ZX14) patrs prices and they are pretty damn steep.CARRILLO CONNECTING RODS, H-BEAM, ZX-14, 06-08 is a ZX14 rod at $1100 each for nitro engines...yikes.

You want to fit nitrous to 20+year old engines......................................
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
NO FFFFFFING WAY.
You need a NEW engine and a frame and suspension to take it all.
And new technology
Hurricanes don't have any of it.
Carrillo conroda ZX14 at $1100 each for nitro engines...yikes. As fatman says.
Each one cost almost as much as your bike.......

I'll post a big sign that says
I TOLD YOU SO outside your hospital ICU
But I do like the way you think.....................hehe

All this is because AGAINST OUR ADVICE you decided to fit a 18T front sprocket, which makes your bike slower than all the rest of us.
Take it down to a 15T and then tell me you need nitrous. Pfffffffttttt I have and
I can run with a GSX1000 - and have-can't do more than 140MPH but you get there sooooooooo fast !

Looks to be an awful lot of aligator clips in that picture, I would have thought that something designed to cause so much mayhem would use something a bit more sophisticated than aligator clips. Maybe you have to clip them onto your ******* to distract your mind from the melting pistons?
