Default 2 stage setup question

I was working on a N2O C-5 panel for a mutistage setup, made me wonder...

On the two stage (I am sure it can be done many ways)...
Do most run the two stages from one bottle or is a separate bottle better for each stage? If one bottle I take it would just be a T or Y fitting inline to the two different stages?

Thinking of doing a small dual nozzle dry (75) and Wet plate (75) now (oh the insanity of all the choices!). I think the Stock 99 injectors and fuel pump should handle that (75 Dry)...and the stock C-5 Fuel Pump swing the rest on the wet side (75 Wet).

Anyone with a C-5 Vert will a 15 pound bottle fit (I know the 10 does) in storage area in the back?

One bottle and a -4 line will supply your needs fine. I think your right and ok on the rest. Interested in a dual stage sw panel, for sure.

Still in work...


Of course I will probably have to ditch the C-5 Corvette logo and the word CORVETTE before a GM lawyer see's it

Now need to find out about a 15 pound bottle...

Thanks Robert Your passion for the dry shot I think has many coming around.

Jim,
I have 2 15# bottles and one will not fit in the recess. Here is a pic of my mock up orientation of the two in the back. I have 2 because of the 3 stages. I have 2 dry plumbed into one bottle and the wet into the other.

BTW, the bottle are off to Chad for painting to match the engine.

Nice sw panel, maybe a Z06 logo? A buddy is running a 15lb'er in the storage well. What he did was to make and carpet a box/stand that fits in the lowest part, then mounted bottle cross ways. This works with have mech valve/gauge above storage (to long for everything to fit down in hole. Then turn bottle 45* towards front so pickup tube is correct for picking up n2o under axcceleration. I have a pic I will try to find. It looks nice/good, imo.

Here's my current set-up in Z06 (a few changes since this photo). Prob won't work for conv because of top storage?

Then this was my coupe set-up, much father back compared to my Z06, might work for ya.

Here's my friends 15lb'er cross ways, and another pic for insight (10lb'er?).

Thanks guys!
Is the trunk area on the vert the same as the Z-06 or the Coupe?
If so I am thinking 15 pound bottle now and two stages (small). Throw in the Mopar 402 Carbed Stroker and I will have Dry EFI, Wet EFI and carb expierence under the belt

Z-06 Logo will need to find...but I can certainly switch it.

I am gonna PM those I am working on panels for a link to my website, it will have different panels currently in work. I drew the switches from memory (I am not home so I cannot measure the stuff), but I need to double check and see if they are rendered to the correct size.

I will look for the Z-06 logo and render one with that.
