If you spray at 8000 vs 4000 you only have half as much nitrous in the cylinder, thereby giving you lower cylinder temps.
The less nitrous in a cylinder the less power but the cylinder does not run as hot and you reduce your risk of explosion.
Yeh, that's all I could come up with, too. It just sucks cause of the range of rpms on a bike....anywhere from idle to, in this case, 11k-ish rpms. So, juicin outta the hole ain't gonna hit like a nice Mack truck like someone wished it would at 6k rpms..
You crazy fool.....and you got one of these bikes, too.
