Default Finally Hit the juice (kinda long)

Well, first off, Thanks to all the people that answered all my questions about installing N20 on my car. (Slowhawk, Azzkicker, etc etc) MAD PROPS to all of you. People on this board are really great when it comes to helping out other F-body enthusiasts.
Secondly, SLOWHAWK THANK YOU for doing the wiring for me. It was inconprehensible for me to post my joy of getting one of the TNT Wet kits for my car and to have one of the board members offer to help me with the install. %^$#ING COOL!!!!!
The install started at 9am got done at 6pm. Putin the 75 jets at the behest of my new mentor (I wanted to start with 100) and went out for the test drive. Got it up to speed and hit the arming switch, It kicks in and POW, Blew a fuse <img src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" border="0" alt="[whiner]" /> Replaced the fuse and tightened up a few wires and took it back out. Bottle pressure around 900, Hit the switch and POW!!!!KICK ***!
By this time I have a commitment to get to and have to go. 80 mile trip home ya know. Well I'm crossing the border to CT and I got this assriding car on me in the fast lane. I was taking it slow(70ish) through RI cause of the cops there and crossing the border brought her up to about 80. Guy is still riding me so i'd had the heater on for about 45 mins now. I armed the system and downshifted to 4th. Floored it and when I hit the rev limiter I hit fifth for about 3-4 more seconds. When I looked in my rearview the guy was WAAAAYYYYYYY back(like 1/4 mile) and I brought her back down to semi-legal limits. Assrider took about 3 mins to catch back up to me.
Anyways, I'm really happy with the results. I'm putting the 100 jets in today and taking a trip. <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" />

Slowhawk, Did you smell any clutch on that burnout when I left your place??? 2nd gear didn't seem to be hookin up much <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> Took it out today, Clutch stuck to the floor hitting 5th. Anyways, I think the bottles empty now. My brother-in-law has a tank of N20 at his job, he said its either a 350 or 380 size? and sits at 2500PSI. What would we need to fill my bottle from that one??? Does anyone know????

Oh yeah, hit 140 MPH on fairly short straightaway. <img src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" border="0" alt="[hail]" /> <img src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" border="0" alt="[hail]" /> <img src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" border="0" alt="[hail]" /> <img src="graemlins/camaro.gif" border="0" alt="[Chevrolet]" />

Didn't smell anything,but my ears are still ringing <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
Sounds like your clutch is slipping in the higher gears.Welcome to the club <img src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" border="0" alt="[hail]" />
My clutch holds a 75 shot but the 100shot my clutch begs for mercy <img src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" border="0" alt="[guns]" />
You can weigh your bottle to see how much is left.Empty-15lbs full 25lbs
For your friend to fill it you'll need a filter in line and just fittings to go bottle to bottle.
To fill put your bottle in the freezer(or outside now)overnight then hook it right up to the main bottle.It will pull the N2O out of the main bottle.Just make sure you have a scale there to make sure you don't overfill. <img src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" border="0" alt="[devil]" />
