Probably only used it 5 or 6 times. One day I took the wife for a drive and uttered the famous words....watch this..... we were doing around 50 when I hit the NOS button and ended up 3 lanes over. That' when I decided I didn't really need that much power. The 800 I have now is plenty. Weineck is only .2ths faster in the 8th and .4ths faster in the 1/4 and I can live with that.
