Even though nitrogen is recommended, even dry air can be used as an alternative. According to race tech it's 175psi nitrogen or 125psi air... Said air must be free of any kind of moisture...

I guess I'm just curious why nitrogen? Why not just get a small shock pump and adjust the pressure as needed.

I would think it's because nitrogen is more stable at different temperatures? You're the science kid, you should know
