if you're doing "dig" only the heater is o.k., but for any "mexico" pulls the nano really is the only way to go... ask Lance, he was a heater guy until the mile, and he's so glad he went nano... $100 for the heater, might as well spend the extra $400 for the nano...

Since when do you only do 2-3 pulls in Mexico?? 2-3 per victim is usual! The only problem with the bottle is your first race is your best race and if the other guy screws up and you have to start again, your pressure is down for the second.. Then you have to wait for it to heat up again.. Then you have to fill it.. I know FI is not in your cards right now, but try to wait it out if you can. There is good used vortech kit for sale in the parts section.. Dooooo it.. Doooo it... Your mpg will improve! (not really... you information center will tell you that, but it's some ammo for the wife in your favor)

Lance aka "Bonds" from DFW...


My fuel system is the www.dallasperformance.com 2000hp fuel system... they have several versions to fit different hp needs but mine is there all out street fuel system, for crazy 3000hp+ race applications, the sky is the limit, and they can take care of you there as well...

With my 150 shot with nano I get 7 full runs!! with a10lb bottle.
Dont listen to the boost guys, most of them cant drive!! and never been to a track lol! Nitrous kit installed yourself is less than
a 1000.00$ boost guys pay 5-6 grand for a kit plus 4 grand+ for install
Im laughing all the way to the bank!

I agree....I have a standalone fuel system and pretty much every accessory you could imagine with the exception of a remote opener (bottle is in the trunk between the rear seats) and I have less than 2k in my nitrous kit

not to mention a blower won't have the low-end torque out of the hole that a sprayed car will......only downside is having to fill the bottle but I don't mind

My name is Kevin and I am an avid nitrous user

I should have pics of the inlet tube you sent me up soon. I am powder coating it. It looks good Taylor. I of course had to drill lots of holes in it for various IAT, meth, and nitrous nozzles. Thanks again.
