Pics of my Dual Nitrous bottle setup
 

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. And yes, I have been over 150 mph this year and it came in handy :secret2:

That looks downright wicked. Makes me proud to have a Formula :D

Looks great Brian, your car is definatley one of the best looking F-Bodies I have ever seen. When are you going to Byron next?

I love the 'remove before FLIGHT' flag.

Don't know. I'm going down to St. Louis this weekend for the Pinks All Out race. Car is going in the trailer tomorrow morning :devil:

Sometime in late July I will be going up to Byron to test out the 250-300 shot though :chug:

Sweet looking install. I would love to see some engine bay pics..\

Here you go :chug:

I was estatic with the bottle mont pics, then I saw the engine bay:chug::D:angel:

very nice!!!!

Sweet, good luck at Pinks. Just let me know and I'll meet you up at Byron.

NICE!!! very nice. :drool::headbang:

That is so damn sweet looking, it almost hurts my eyes to look at it.:hail:

If you don't get picked for Pinks, then there's something wrong. You're gonna kill my hopes LOL, after seeing your 4th gen pontiac, they'll never pick my pile.

Nice install, I'm about to move my bottle to the passenger's seat area. I want to be ablet to turn it on/off myself, after trying to make a run with the bottle off once :eyes: That plus I don't really need any more weight in the trunk (note sig pic)

Nice work though, what are you doing for the blowdown tubes?

One of the sweetest F-bodies I have ever seen!!!
Good job bro!

But theres no place to store the T-tops now....


J/K great looking setup man, looks like it's got plent of "go" as well. :chug:

sweet looking setup, can't wait to see the car run in St.louis this weekend

The best part, it's a hardtop car, no need for that t-top crap

That is really some nice work. Did you do it all your self? Man I have a ways to go before my engine bay comes anywhere close. Do think I could host your dual bottle pic on my web site? I am adding bottle mount pics to give guys ideas on what can be done and dual bottles in the F-bod are far and few. Of course your name will be posted for credit. Again sweet azz car, and that engine bay, wow, gotta love the single planes, I know I do.

Yes, I did all the work myself. Those pictures are from last fall when I installed the nitrous system, and not too much has changed since then. When I was setting up the engine compartment, I knew what I wanted and I took my time until it looked the way I wanted. It was a LOT of time, effort and of course that wonderful thing call money.

Go ahead and host the bottle pictures, its fine by me. I like posting up pictures of my car for others to learn and get some ideas.

NO T-tops here. This is a 98' Formula WS6 ILE Hardtop car. Its only 1 of 14 made in 1998 :D Wouldn't have it any other way.

For the blow down tubes....I'll worry about that after pinks. I will more than likely install 1 or 2 bulkhead fittings next to bottles and plumb some braided line to those. Not too big of a deal to do.

I sure hope I get picked...but I think I'm too fast. I've been to the track 5-6 times this year testing, and so far its running alot faster than I expected :chug:
