Pics of my Dual Nitrous bottle setup, Midwest Chassis parachute.... Here are some pictures of my new dual nitrous bottle setup. I used to use only 1 10lb bottle, but the pressure drop was too much. I will be testing the 2 bottles this weekend at the Pinks All Out race down in St. Louis, and I'm thinking it will pick up some time too.
The bracket is a billet aluminum dual bottle bracket made by Chris Alston Chassis Works. I am using ARC 120 volt AC, 500 watt heaters. Being that this is a track only car, I will use the generator power from the trailer to run the AC bottle heaters. No more drain on the cars charging system anymore. I used 6AN lines from both bottles into the "Y", and then one 6AN line to the engine. I had to do some fab work to make a brace to hold the back end of the dual bottle bracket at the height I needed.
I also included a few pics of my Midwest Chassis Parachute setup. I've had this for a while and never got around to posting pics of it. And yes, I have been over 150 mph this year and it came in handy
I'll take some other pics this weekend of the rest of my Midwest Chassis components and work. Excellent work

I love my dual cannons, you made an excellent choice. You will like them better, the more you use.
Fighting with a damn spring gets old fast. Both projects came out perfect, excellent work.

Yes, those bottle heaters took frozen bottles at 530 psi to 1100 psi in 13 minutes. Can't beat that
