Great idea... and that is available, just not quite the way you'd think. They use a massive jet, and hook up a varibable controller... must like boost controllers... you control the flow to the jet, guiding its power. I didn't go that route... its generally for big, big 300-500 add on kits for drags. There are lots of options ... you can have it come up gradually, at predetermined rpms with predetermined volume of NOS at up to 20 points in the rpm range, etc. Really, its limited to what you can think of. Believe it or not, me sticking with a 120 to 160 hp range is conservative in NOS land... no need for all of the above. But having an 8 sit between 420 and 460 hp when I need it is a great option.

I'm watching everything like a paranoid parent, and so far so good.
