you are correct I was wrong in thinking it was a poor grade. the just 
add sulfur..which really isn't that good for your car's combustion 
chamber if your a purist.

wel I got a #24 nozzle..what does that mean? the shop said I could 
get a biger one if it wasn't enough. I have a industrial Nitrous 
Oxide size F tank. I also have a M size tank..but it doesn't even fit 
in my trunk!..well maybe if I removed all my speaker equipmend and 
removed the back seat! the F tank when full weighs around 75lbs

I'm leery about injecting it in 1-3rd gear, will prob only run it 
sparingly in 4th and 5th.

as a follow up I now have all the NOS system parts, and was going to 
get the tank on a 1 day fillup but I decided no rush, I still need a 
feul mixture meter.
