Quick nitrous question/suggestion
I just purchased another NOS sytstem off of Ebay. I currently have a Cheater setup for a carbed motor, so I bought this so I can use my nitrous on my current car(TPI). Now I have to decide what to do and would like some of your opinions.
Since my car has 148k on the stock L98, I wont hit it too hard. Thinking 100hp maybe. Its still in top shape and runs 14.4s all day and hit 14.25 about 5000 miles ago.
This is what I got for $200 Part 1 and Part 2 I like the newer plate better so you can conseal it, but this was something I didnt want to pass up.
I dont think it was a bad deal at all, seeing that it had only 1 bottle run through it. It looks pretty new and comes with the lines too. I just have to wire this baby up, with a few other small safety mods.
Thanks for your input.

OK, so not many votes
but I have been pondering the pros and cons of each. and here is what I am thinking..
1. Sell one bottle and the Cheater plate for a carb with it, and buy a B&M Megashifter, console version. Then get a T handle with a button for the nitrous. Cons- less capacity
2. Run both bottles and the only pros I can come up with is extra capacity and coolness factor. Cons are: Where to mount them? Ill need 2 of everything..Heater & remote opener = $$$$. No easy button for use
3. Run one bottle and interchange, which makes bottle placement easier, only one heater & opener, more capacity. Cons- No easy button for use
Can you think of anything I missed?

I think before it takes up too much storage space you can send the bottle my way so I can start on my stand alone system
