NOS is a high pressure gas that is delivered from steel pressure vessels (think high pressure oxygen in an oxy-acetylene set up). It certainly is not light and the hp increase probably would not be worth hauling the tank and control servos and plumbing around after you have exhausted the gas.

It seems that a dry system does not weigh much and it would be nice to get a little boost when your at gross as long as you had an Air Fuel monitor to adj the mixture. The system could be turned off after you reach 1000ft. Any thoughts on that?
