is there a tank with the same dimensions, but a little wider? so that way you could eliminate the battery hold down and run that wider tank. is that a possibility to do?

Do you or will you be selling an NHRA legal bulkhead to accomodate the cell in the back? As it is that setup would not be legal correct?

That's awesome!! I have not been out on the weekends since my car broke down. The new build is in Futral's hand. I plan to tow the car up there next month. Hopefully one day I can get this beautiful 9 inch I see in this post.

Looks like a pair of cool products.

Can you give us a heads up on what bottles you've cleared and with or without an electric bottle opener for the fitting on the nitrous mount?

Thanks,
Rick

The fuel cell we are using is a 3 gl unit form Triangle Engineering. With this capacity, it is definately not designed for street use. Once we have this design completed, we should be able to eliminate one of the accessory mounts to substitute a larger cell.

For NHRA legality, the kit will include a bulkhead kit to seal this area from the drivers compartment.

A standard nitrous bottle was used for this initial design.

We designed this 9" housing because of the tremendous weight of the other popular housings. When used with a lightweight center section and axles, the total weight is just slightly more than most 12 bolts. There should be more pics/info on our site. Click Here.

Thanks

damn looks like 2400 bucks for the street package. that full out race package looks insane. the price is about the same as the "other" boys and is superior. sounds great!

question - will there be the bad "whine" of the gearing like moser rears? i mean the kind that sounds like a jet taking off?

Jay it looks great and I'm glad to hear about the possibility of a more 'street friendly' design. Has pricing been determined yet?
