Someone PLEASE explain this to me I ran into this guy at a local cruise in Saturday and he just picked up a white 95Z with a 383 LT1 on a 100 shot. Auto car, moser 12 bolt ect ect.
Got it from teh guy for 9k and it has an 8 point cage. The guy welded in the cage with the interior pannels out of the car and the new owner says he can't get them to go back in. After seeing how tight the cage was in I doubt they will ever go back in.
He showed me the NOS bottle in the back and he said it had a heater on it but it would come on and barley get warm and shut off so he riped it out because it was junk. Well he has yet to spray it and the bottle is dead full and had a ton of pressure in it. My buddies Viper is the same way, when the bottles are full and th epressure is up the heater barley comes on for any lengh of time.
This is the best part. He started talking about the exhaust and I could see it had coated pacesetters for headers and he said it had a 4 inch mufflex exhaust with a spintech muffler but I could tell by hearing it was not.
He said and I quote "The muflex just did not sound right so I went to a 3 inch flowmaster 30 series".....
Why someone would do that is beyond me...
He said the previous owner said it ran high 11's on a hundred shot... wonder how much that flowmaster is going to hurt it hahaha.
He also said it felt like is old car that ran 10's and if felt like a 10 second car but whats funny is the fastest he said the pervious owner car that car was high elevens....
Said he was taking it to the track Tuesday to see what it will run and thats street night and is known for being a dangerously slick track on that night and he did not seem to care...
All well, just not srue why you would want to go to a flowmaster after having like the best cat back on the car that money can buy...

He is getting the flowmaster out of shear ignorance.
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but here is my answer to your bottle heater question: The heater is made to heat up the bottle so that the correct psi is acheived. If you have a full bottle of nitrous, I doubt the heater needs to be on long at all for the correct psi to be acheived so it comes on and cuts off quickly. Make sense?
