it may work although a nylon line? lol, I guess it doesn't have to be steel braided since it doesn't hold pressure only guides it out & the purge valve does the rest, it maybe work because without additional fuel very little nitrous will make a difference, it might be a problem though cuz that 30 hp will only last you a few seconds & when your half way down you prolly won't notice anything cuz whatever PSI that bottle holds, over a small area bottle like that you'll hardly see anything, migth be 30 HP increase for a 3cylinder firefly 
lol prolly 10 hp for your application.

Haven't you ever heard of whippets?
It's been years since I've seen a kit like that. That was so long ago that you could still get your bottle filled with nitrous, instead of Nytrous.
They basically do work, and are really only good for edging past a guy at the top end, but you have to be pretty close anyway, because the shots don't last long. If you've ever filled a nitrous balloon at a party, you have an idea of how long it'll last.

Check out that fine print at the bottom right corner of the picture of the "kit". Looks more like a kit for my paint ball gun. If you were racing remote control gasoline Chevys though..HHMMM...just maybe!...naaahhh

don't look worth it to me. My setup has 12" braded line from the bottle to the noid, the noid had the jet on the output side where it feeds into 1/8" air brake line that feeds into my airbox. No nozzle at the end. There is no high pressure on that line after the jet due to no nozzle eithor. Has worked 100% for 2 yrs.
