Nitrous bottle question
If I have a couple bottles with the motorcycle valve, let's say 2.5 lb bottle. Can I use those bottles or will the valve not flow enough for a car? 150 shot is what I'm looking for, only has to last 1 pass. Thanks

I will not use it because the problem is with pressure, as soon as the tank gets cold the pressure drops and with 2.5 lbs there will not be enough gas in a 1/4 mile pass to make the run and maintain the pressure, even to tune the car you will require more gas and pressure.

what he said. i never even use a full bottle. when they get down to 3 or 4 #'s I refill or switch bottles. i would think the little bottles are the same? maybe the last pond or .5 pound would be useless? that don't leave much

Not sure if 4 2.5 lb bottles is the same as a 10 lb bottle. Regardless, I have a short story and a different approach......
Back in the day, I was a serious sound quality car stereo competitor (IASCA). I have commissioned the build out of some interesting vehicles - one being a Grand Cherokee that appeared totally stock, down to the head unit and NO SUBWOOFERS being in the car. I hid two subs in sealed enclosures under the vehicle and above the frame rails (steel enclosures welded to the frame). I suggest you get under the car and look for space. Find a good fabricator and have something built to protect the 10 lb bottle.
Good luck.
