Yea I am just gonna make sure and have somebody hold the money this time. Cuz last time I race an 10 ss for $150 he didn't wanna pay afterwords when I pulled 3 cars on him. And this was before the n20 lol

Good death, that's not bad at all considering the matchup!

Sucks about the nitrous line giving you issues. One night when I still had my Z28 on the road, I was hanging out at a local cruise night. I was in the bathroom and some guy come in and says, hey your car just made a noise... I'm like I go out to check on it and the line from the bottle to the solenoid had rubbed through and blew. I guess it scared the crap out of some of the people near it, lol.

Definitely have someone hold the money and have him in one of the cars or at the finish line to clearly see who won. We just had an issue with this where the loser tried crying foul after the race. Luckily we had people holding the money and watching the race and we got paid.

The only thing that sucks right now is that I have a 15lb bottle that weighs 20lbs empty. And I just weighed it at 27lbs.. I am hearing that around 6-7 lbs a 15lb bottle stops working... Can anybody confirm this? I am saposed to go race him today, but im iffy on it now if I don't have enuf n20

I've never used a 15 lbs bottle, but that sounds about right. With a 10lbs bottle I started noticing a serious drop in performance at around 18 lbs (4lbs left in the bottle).

It's already going in lol. It's saposed to be good for 25-30 hp, get good gas mileage and saposed to be good for n20. And I'm getting the whole kit for $230. And the only reason I'm putting it in is because I got it so cheap. A new kit would cost me $750 easy....

Pretty decent cam for a blower setup, I don't know about N20. I've been down that road, wasnt to satisfied with the gains. But to each their own.

It's just to get me by awhile. I am wanting to do a d-1sc with forged 347 and lvl 4 FLT tranny in a year or so.
