this is the thing, you tune your engine for its normal fulltime performance, like as in you dont risk overleaning and killing it when your just driving around... but then you have that bottle of nitro somewhere in your car, and with an extra channel on your radio(for instance if your not using reverse) you can give a shot of nitro that boosts the engine's performance, since its only running like that for a few seconds , wear shouldnt be a problem, i dont know if an engine can even have time to heat up to the temperatures that you get when you set the needles too lean... think of it as something like on the fly fuel leaning
From what I read about it, there's supposed to be a toggle switch near the throttle switch. When the servo hit's 100% throttle it then pushes the toggle switch over from the off to the on mod where it then gives appox 8 seconds worth of nitrous. 8 seconds is enough to do damage, as it will run lean which means not enough luberication. It doesnt matter weather it gains a whole lot of temp or not for the 8 seconds, there's a lack of luberication there which means some wear and tear will happen.
And when you really start to think about it, here's how it really works. The servo hit's 100% and flips the toggle switch. The nitrous goes off adding it's own oxygen but no extra fuel is added. Well when no fuel is added I dont see how it would add ANY extra power if the engine is already tuned for maximum performance, then it's already using all the fuel. So when you think about it there should be no extra power at all until you retune your engine as the nitrous is not flamable it just add's it's own oxygen when being injected. You need fuel to add the extra power, but no extra fuel is added so no extra power if you really think about it.
So you need the extra fuel to add power and with no extra fuel no extra power, just an overly lean condition. So do you want really crappy performance up until you hit 100% throttle and have awesome performance for those 8 seconds and then once again go back to an overly rich condition. Or would you rather have that performance all the time with just a new engine or a new pipe or something of the like. I know what I would pick for $200 and it wouldnt be the 8 second version of power.
