Default Push to pass button?

How does the push to pass button work! It is an extra 50hp and 1000rpm 11,000rpm to 12,000rpm. Only allowed to use it 8 times in a race, once used a racer must wait 120 seconds to use it again.

Can anyone explain this, controlled vtec?

I'd remove the timer function and hard wire the button into a 120A ambulance alternator. I'm passing ------- everyone.

How many nitro-boosts do they get per race or is it determined by the stunts they do?

Depends on the Kudos for stuff like drifting and barrel rolls.

One more question - could I press the button 8 times in succession and get 400hp and 8000rpm?

it looks to be a battery that allows the alternator to free-wheel, ie pulling no power because there is no drain on it.

I have that push button to past on my car.
I hooked up my SC14 with a/c clutch pulley to my a/c switch on my dash.
Push the a/c button and pass whoever I want.
Turn it of to get 30mpg+ in town.
