Life with a 35lbs bottle. Just like the title says Im think thinking of getting rid of the 10lbs bottle and upgrading to a 35lbs or even a 50lbs bottle. It will be in a truck so placement wont be a problem. I was thinking of filling it or keeping it at a steady pressure.

Re: Life with a 35lbs bottle. No, really, Im seriously asking. I have the room, and it would have a hell of an aww factor. But how practical is it. It would be a bitch to fill but last FOREVER. Anyone ever try it or hear of it being done?

Re: Life with a 35lbs bottle. If you do it, I want to see you use up all that space on the bottle with a big "NNNAAAAAAWWWWWZZZZZ - the Big One" lettering job

Re: Life with a 35lbs bottle. I have a 20# Aluminum C02 bottle Same as N20 bottle minus the tube. Has the same pressure disk and all as a nitrous bottle. Just needs to be mounted upsidedown. Ill trade you for your 10#.

Re: Life with a 35lbs bottle.
wouldn't the weight negate most of the power gains of the nitrous?
The truck tips the scales right now at 4420 with me in it, in race trim. Closer to 5000 with the tool box, tools, bed mat, and all the toys. Add another 112 pounds with the girl friend (or would that fall in the 'toy' category) So weight is not much of an issue. how much would a full 35 lb bottle weigh. What 75lbs, maybe 100lbs. So what, put that N2O bottle next to a propane bottle (for the wet shot), and a CO2 bottle just because.

Re: Life with a 35lbs bottle.
Is that 112 lbs clothed or naked?
You could just put a wig on that Giant Bottle and strap it into the passenger seat.

I remember when I was in high school some local tech school, I think UTI had a Chevy work van with a LT1 swapped in and a giant 50# nitrous bottle. He said it ran mid twelves with a small stall. The bottle weighed a ton it had to be mounted to a small roll cage to give it the proper angle.

Re: Life with a 35lbs bottle. build mounts for the bottle over the rear axle, try to make up some weight for traction right there, just sucks that the bottle would be directlty in the middle of the bed. Sounds bad *** and i want to see pics if you do it. you could through some in of the girlfriend too. j/k
