If you wanted partial throttle the motor controller would require alot of additional programming. This is meant to be a plug and play system with easy installation that gives you a healthy boost when you need it. |

It works sort of like a NOS kit. The difference being that with NOS you arm the system, stomp on the gas, then hit the button when you want it to kick in. With this system you arm it and when you mat the gas pedal it kicks in automatically. One less step involved and you don't need to refill it. It also costs less than half of the cheapest full time FI system, assuming it doesn't need a special tune.

It would probably be advisable to have a tune for this if it's producing more than 10hp. |

Part throttle nitrous activation is very bad, if I recall, unless you enjoy seeing parts of your motor that belong inside the block on the outside.

Usually the nitrous buttons are for movies and video games. |

I want to know how much weight is being added between the two batteries and the unit itself. Also, I'm interested in where the batteries are being installed.
