Default Considering the juice..

OK guys-

I am thinking about putting a 75 shot through my car.. I'm just thinking about it at this point and have not made up my mind..

A few questions:

1. Would a 5 pound bottle be enough for a few shots? I don't run it on the track, only for screwing around on the streets..

2. How long will the juice last in the bottle? Can I fill up in June and keep the same stuff until August or what?

I'm a pretyy big newb to the nitrous scene..


Thanks

Jeff

why dont you just get a 10lb bottle? Im getting a dry nitrous kit + purge soon and Im going to spray 75 and move up from there. with a 5lb I dont think its going to last that long

Go with the 10 pounder and then you don't have to fill up so frequently. As long as you don't go with too big of a shot you will really enjoy the boost safely without having to upgrade fuel pump and injectors, you will even surprise a few cars you normally wouldn't.

Well, I figured I could hide the bottle easier on a 5lb and I really don't think I'll use it that often..

I will not put a bottle on the hump or in the t-top well.. I'd also like to keep the spare...

I've thought about putting it in the floor behind the drivers seat, but I dunno about that..

i was in the same boat as you. h/c full bolt on for a long time and got an itch to go faster

after lots of thinking i upgraded my fuel pump and went with a single nozzle wet kit so i wouldnt have to upgrade injectors and i couldnt be happier.

noticable difference with the 75 shot

I have a 75 wet shot that I occasionally run ( I usually have the 150 jets in ). The kit I have is rated at the crank. The 150 is awesome! I will forewarn you that when you start spraying it is addictive and like any junkie you will eventually up the dose!

No, I mean that if you have a bigger shot you have to consider fuel pump/injector upgrades....

Jeesh, calm down don't you have anything better to do than start arguments based on unlogical assumptions...hmmm 75 shot feels better than 125 shot-are you seriouis that doesn't even make sense, just drop it already.
Btw I edited my post so that I don't have to sit online in petty arguments with idiots all day
