all you damn crooked street racers. I had a race w someone who I guarantee you was spraying but of course he denied it.. My mistake for not taking his whole car apart, thats why i dont bother street racing anymore. You gotta go over everyones car w/ a fine tooth comb to even get a fair race.

around here, we all know who is fast and know each other, so its kinda hard to hustle many ppl that you need spray for. im still goin to investigate creative hidin places for when i go out of town and need a tank of gas

we have our guys notorious for hidden kits, but racer beware I guess. I have some really good ideas for hiding nitrous where you could NEVER find it, but if they were public knowledge then it wouldnt be hidden anymore. For the record, ive never street raced using spray..

kinda off topic, but how long will a motorcycle bottle last on a 100 shot?

Pull out the washer resevoir and mount it on the back of the bottom of the front bumper support. I'm not sure about the Firebird, but the Camaro's have enough room there for a 5lb bottle.

We have built GT1 race cars with air fitting's in the cage to pressurize it with nitrogen. The pressure gets checked after each race. If the pressure is low the car gets torn apart to check the cage.

Purge it into the rear of the exhaust so no one will see/hear

as far as purge, if you do a burnout(kinda rare on the street), you could purge it into the wheel well during the burnout. the tire smell will cover up any nitrous smell

motor grade nitrous has a rotten eggs smell that is mixed with it to prevent substance abuse. its only 100 ppm so it doesnt effect performance

no purge just makes the initial hit softer doesn't it?

Kinda late on this, but if you were to hide a bottle in the rear speaker area, and make another one visible, such as the rear hatch area.. 9 times out of 10, if you were to disconnect or remove the visible one, nobody would ever think to look for a hidden one. Which of course is the one that matters. Plus, you'd always have a backup bottle in case you ran out
