Just go simple and cheap with a dry 100 shot. Should work fine, right? Isn't that the setup that other forum members are using?
A progressive nitrous kit with all of the extra safety features sounds amazing, but it may be overkill. You guys in europe play with fire anyway, so why not just go with the universal dry kit? 100 should be very safe

E55 RUSS, oh yeah! I forgot its winter in moscow..lol...
Do u know how much your friend paid for the Brabus EV12 ? I know most Brabus cars start at $500,000 I didnt know people actually bought full brabus cars.
as for ASR NOS setup, you would have to email or call the owner....I dont know him personally.

I agree with you 100% brother. But doesn't Rflow and DerekSFU run a dry shot (I think they are both 125's)? I personally like wet because of the extra safety and all, but if the E55's MAF responds well to n2o then simple might be better. But I'm just being economical. Of course the way to go if you could afford it would be with a system like Evosports or ASR.

My biggest problems with running NOS and thus have not used it since are the "wild cards". Solenoids stick open one time and puff, car runs lean one time and puff, push button malfunction and puff. So many reasons for the motor to toast, I just chickened out.
Who knows though, maybe this summer I will put the bottle of evil back in the trunk again.

Nooooooooooooo. Rflow runs wet shot which is a modded NOS Universal Import System and even had his ECU tuned to run NOS (always running rich) I bought the same one and it bolted up pretty nice actually. Never hit the button more than once or twice but it did have a slight kick to it. Wasn't the "mind numbing" acceleration that some might think. Definitely enough to get ya into the 10's though with existing mods Mike. I believe Derek ran a Ford wet kit that had been altered. Don't quote me on that one though, been a few years now since the master made his historic runs and made history.

II Vant to beeeee EEEEvalll bo bo boha bohahahaha
sorry had to say it
and russ i belive if nos was safe in its cheap to intall format many people would be intalling it in expensive cars, just my opinion i think it needs to be done right or boom
Right: usualy involves $$ time /knowlage & experiance
P.S Also russ i do not know if you have been following threads but there seems to be alot of Evotechcars going bad, 5 from your end and 3-4 from members here....

True, plus Mike, RFLOW and I are doing it the ole fashioned way. Hitting the button to start and stop. You gotta be on the money 100% or you are in trouble. Foot off the gas for one second and forget to shut the switch off and whammo.
Not sure if anyone has gotten a Wide Open Throttle switch to work on our cars. Have to search on that one.
I'll ask Derek and see what his guy came up with.

I raced an SL with the same Brabus engine a few years ago and it was something I coudn't forget:

Anyway, what's the point of using NOS to race him when you know that he can also put NOS and beat you back? I think that the Brabus V12 TT is a real monster and there's no shame in losing to such a car. Just have a go and see how you fare against it. The Brabus EV12 may be very fast, but its still not a 10 sec car. Beat him in a 1/4 mile race. As long as you can run mid 11 secs consistently, you should stand a chance.

I tried to get a WOT switch on my car, but the shop said they were having problems doing that so they just went with the good old button (actually just look at Zod's signature )
