i've fitted a few on griff's and chim's pro's are massive power gains for little money and only when you want or need it correctly fitted it's 100% reliable, con's are refilling bottles and insurance companys (i run it on all my bikes)

Thanks Andy, been yapping to Craig tonight, I'm considering a small shot for the 500, just thinking about reliabilty etc. Don't want to put too much stress on the engine.

If a 75 can be used in moderation without long term detremental effects to my pride and joy then happy days!

Andy have you done any Cerbs, seeing Craigs Cerb run at SRR recently got me interested. Mines a 4.2 by the way, have 365 but would like to get it up to around 450 for the occasional fun or RWYB sort of thing.

You shouldn't have any worries,I ran 75 to 150hp pills in a 500,took it off before I sold it, but heard the engine's still stong.The factory throttle linkage has a nice little hole ready for a bolt to flick the solenoid.

I'd use it if I could figure out how to fit the bottle in the boot.

one of my customers ran 75hp jets on his 4.0l pre cat griff for about 3 years standard engine with 50k on it when the gas was added never failed and was still ok when he sold the car on (he also did more track days than the stig)

I've been using NOS on my race Tuscan all year. We had a couple of problems early on but it turned out to be a porous head, not the NOS.
