two choices.

one. (and this is the best way)
open it in a image editor and save it with the "quality" or "compression" slider moved to make the FILE SIZE smaller.


two:
crop out what isnt needed in the image, and if thats not small enough, you can shrink it... this is the least favorable option since people often have quality at or near 100% and they end up shrinking the pic way too small.


just crop out what you dont need, then shrink it to fit easily on the screen, then adjust the quality settings until the FILE SIZE (note not image size, but FILE size) is the size it needs.

Alberta, i used his kit on my TPI last year and it went from 13.7-11.91 on the 150 kit. If my friend ( enginneering wizard) didn't figure all this out and have access to a full machine shop and studied this for many, many hrs i would buy a kit already done, but he does it all, Lets see i have $250 in my total wet kit, alum bottle included. He's good at this stuff.

He has a LT-1 stock with a slick dry kit on it and went 11.52 @116 last year, now he's doing a propane set up for his car. He actually keeps mine conservative.

Looks no worse than anything anyone did in the years before commercial nitrous kits were available.
