Light weight battery and bottle warmer use I currently run the red top optima battery under the hood.
I've been doing a search and reading up on what everyone says.
One link was particularly interesting:
http://www.stealth316.com/2-dynabatt.htm
The biggest thing I have done this season is weight reduction.
My bird w/o the bottle and driver tips the scales at 3080.
Add the fat *** driver and it saw 3296 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
Add a full bottle and 3320, sigh
I thought about the optima relocated to the rear but when the extra wire weight, battery cut off switch etc is added I am kinda defeating the prupose (even though weight relocation is a benifit).
Ok, so getting back to the point of my post...
When I drive down to the track the warmer is on so I'm not worried there.
I quite often leave the bottle warmer on in between rounds with the bird off.
Do you all think I may run into problems with this?
Next question, this winter I plan on building the bottom end w/ forged internals and a direct port 150 shot. I will probably end up mounting my second bottle in the car because of psi lose on nitrous runs.
Obviously I'll have a warmer on that bottle too.
2 bottles warmers + little light weight battery = dead v6 in the staging lanes right?
Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks

Re: Light weight battery and bottle warmer use I can tell you that these smaller batts. , (Dyno, Gen, Hawker) drain quickly. Only use mine during Track season, going back to the standard size for the street.
