NX Power Booster?

Has any one seen or used this? They say you can get 20% more HP just by adding it to your gas. I have heard that NX is the best at doing what they say they can do that is why I went with them. But that seems like a lot. What do you guy's think?

e.t.= none yet
mph= none yet

I have seen it advertised but haven't tried it.
I will probably talk a budy of mine that is a NX dealer into letting me check it out first hand. I don't know what is in it yet but I will find out then. Probably just another octain booster (xylene & toluene) LOL.

I read NXs press release and it states the power gains as possible from the increased nitrous you can use.
The power gain isn't supposed to come from directly from the additive.
The additive is supposed to allow you to use more nitrous than you could without it. I would guess this is supposed to be due to increased octane.
Anyway the added HP comes from being able to turn up the wick on the nitrous.

I'm no pro. but I know that with alot of fuel additives it's hard to get a good mixture of the content in the bottle to your tank of gas. I'm sure it can mix okay by putting it in and adding fuel after....but the best gain in any fuel I have seen was from racing fuel +N20....it helps...

And it's alot safer...
