Rep Power: 0 thank you spider
The standard shot for our cars is 50 but some go to 80 and it's uncommon. The engine is not too badly harmed at all by occasional use... when you shoot several times a day every day then your engine and internal parts will die much sooner. You can also decide to make it kick in when flooring the gas or by switch. NX had very high gains when dyno'd, you approx. get double torque.

Rep Power: 0 << It pushes the engine beyond the engine's capability... thus the extra wear... at least that's how I can simplify it. If anyone can do better, go ahead. >>
how can something be pushed beyond its capability?
