Sure. If purging is a waste, taping the button is even worse don't ya think ? You still need to move the same amout of nitrous out of the line to purge either way. But if you tap the buttong, now both soleniods are opening, using fuel also.iskwezm said:
I just said ok,didnt mean to offend you.When i was at NOS,the only ones that bought purge kits were racers that had 2 15 lb bottles strapped in their car or extra bottles at the pits.Purging now is a "oooh aaah" thing.By tapping the button,it takes a few tenths of a second for the gas to travel from the bottle to the solenoid,when the bottle is at 900-1000 PSI,it doesnt take long.When using the button,the amount used is way less and the fuel used is no comparison to a small 10 lb bottle.I was just saying the whole time i was at NOS,many of us didnt use a purge system.10secgoal said:Sure.

For me the show starts after the cars are staged.66ford289 said:Sooooo your saying you don't like the oooohh and ahhhh?

They go to the line with too much pressure and bleed it down. Too much pressure = lean. Too little = rich. There is only one correct pressure for a tune up. They still bump the button a few time to get liquid to the solenoids, but the purge serves 2 purposes, and neither is "oooh" nor "aaah."
None taken...I just spent some time working for NOS and thought i would let people know what worked for me.I NEVER paid for a refill muchless parts ,but it seems it was a waste to purge a system for 2 seconds,for peoples enjoyment, when i used to tap the button a couple of times,stage and the other car didnt know what hit them. But if people want to spend the extra 100 bucks on a purge solenoid,im sure they will gladly take your money.10secgoal said:It's the low budget guys I always see without them. But it's usually the guys that heat their bottles with propane. No offense to you squezze 'em. .
"we" experimented doing a lot of different things,like launching on the button only,then hit the gas,was able to surprise a street bike in a ranchero with a 289 with 235/60/14s,it ran low 11's at the track and everthing was hidden.Back when we did this,there were no purge systems,bottle warmers or timing boxes,they were in the process of being developed(early 90's)steel1212 said:I have to purge. I have no "button" as mine is all automatic to come on a 3k and shut off at 6k.
