Scott,
Exciting progress & can't wait to see this when completed.
While I wouldn't expect you to disclose it, if Tym says it can handle it, I'd add a 100 or 150 N02 shot just for the added cooling properties on high boost. Just hide it well and never admit it. Might be glad it was there if by chance a white SL was closing in on you during a race.

We all know two things:
1) Nitrous tremendously cools the intake air which provides a benefit on turbo cars.
2) You'd never be accused of spraying any of your cars

You guys are both funny acting like you don't know what I'm referring to here. If you add a 150 shot of nitrous its assumed your getting the hp gain, but with a turbo car there can be two added benefits which are the potential for assisting with spooling and intake air cooling. Air intake temps as you get up into high boost can increase tremendously, which is where nitrous can provide the added benefit of lowering intake air temps and preventing detonation.
But I'm talking with two guys that know this as well as anyone!

I see your points, but I simply don't want to use nitrous on the car. Although it would certainly provide better spool-up and more power, I honestly don't think my setup will need it.
On another note, we really need to come down down there and visit you guys. I'm thinking June will work best for us. Let me know what your schedule looks like.

As far as you and Linda coming down - you've got an open invitation. Just let me know potential dates so I can get them on my calendar!

Daniel, of course I know this....I was just laughing as people rarely say "I want to add nitrous as I really want to take advantage of its cooling properties" hehehehe Usually, people say "i'm gonna spray a 150 for the power pick up..." Just messin' with you bud.
Scott, I can't wait to see your car done!

Hello divexxtreme, I have a question about your switzer r1. What kind of acceleration are you except? Do you think this will be the quickest gtr on the planet?this is your plan for future?. What you think,is any possibility to break the all-time record for the street car on street tire? The numbers from the record run is soo crazy : 0-60mph in 2.536 s ,0-100 mph in 4.346 s, 0-130mph in 6.298 s, 0-150mph in 8.085 s, 0-180mph in 11.597, 0-186mph in 12.474 and 0-200mph in 14.751..also the 1/4mile was 9.364 @ 163.73mph with 60ft 1.828s, and 1/2 mile was done in 14.333 s with trap speed of 197.78mph. What you think about this?will you try to break this all time record times? The data is from keith cowie street r32 skyline
