Would this work to help with high density altitude?

I think that for engine life I would stick with a turbo charger for high alt.

Do you mean my early model 912 with 1100 hrs might not be a good candidate? ;-)

The 912 you have could get an aftermarket turbo!

Or you could skip the doughnuts & cheeseburgers for a little while and drop a couple pounds for the same effect.

It's easier to add nitrous! ;-). I remember a friend who added nitrous to a hotrod.

I personally can't imagine controlling/stearing a tail Dragger when the Nitrous it turned off, the least off in taxing, you may end up in the dirt.

The video seems to show nitrous being turned on and full throttle applied after approaching takeoff speed. He's off the ground before you can blink.

That's a friend of mine in his experimental HuskyChaser. He blew his first engine testing the set up, then rebuilt the Lycoming and flying it again.
