Hi Ken,
I agree having a little N02 to kick in when more power is needed would
be great. However, not certain that would have helped my problem as I
already had enough power to stall the high pitch prop and more power would
certainly make it spin faster, but not necessarily give much increase in
thrust.
But, 80 HP more might have made a noticable difference.
Have you any experience with the "Dry N02" systems? Apparently they just
shoot the NO2 into the air intake and let the temp sensors detect its the
decrease in temp that causes and causes the EFI to inject more fuel.

It may not have helped until near liftoff speed but then you could probably stand it on its tail, also by spinning the prop faster may un stall the prop and even if it didn't it would still be pushing more air.
The only prop stalling I have run into with my five blade warp drive was when I was running 125 hp NOS jets and then it was only when trying to lift out of the water and the prop came out of stall at about 15 mph.
All of that is something you would have to play with on your particular plane to know what to expect before actually needed it in a pinch.
No I have only run it on a carb but all the systems that I have seen on injection systems have also run the wet system.
I would suggest contacting NOS as they build the best systems and they could tell you if it would work but my thought is that the injectors may not be able to keep up with the extra fuel needed and that time lag would be to slow for the sensors and detonation could destroy the engine before it got the extra fuel there.
