    Default Nitrous Oxide assist?

    Would this work to help with high density altitude?

    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.
