Nitrous stages??

Hi Everyone,

I have a few questions about NO2 stages.

Are they because you can't just to a 500 shot and exspect to keep traction? Or does the engine need to adjust on lil'shots?

Thanks for your help.

Yes.
Staging nitrous through progressively bigger shots allows as much nitrous as you can launch on with traction, and as you get moving you can add more nitrous without loosing traction.

If you are using very large shots, you can over fill the cylinders at lower RPM, so staging can help there too.
