As promised, here are a few pics of the progress made today.

First is a teaser of the view in the enclosed back portion of the car... I'm not sure it qualifies as a trunk anymore... There will not be much if anything else carried in there....

Joe Racer778 loaned me his Nitrous bottle until I can get my second one...

Under the carpet is an aluminum plate the nitrous bottle frame is bolted to... There are still a few adjustments to be made, but it certainly works for now. In one of the pics, Joe managed to get his hand involved...

Yup, two 15 lb tanks... The other bottle belongs to Joe, Racer 778, my second tank isn't here yet... and so Joe loaned me his for the Fest... I'll wire up the second heater tomorrow...

We are going to t- the hose into both bottles... and can run on one or the other or both as needed... For the mile runs, we'll certainly be on both bottles... to maintain pressure... for the Fest, we'll play it by ear... We are going to be on a very conservative shot right now... Just not enough time to tune for maximum effort, and neither Corey or I want to hurt the car... and no fast runs will really be made until late Oct early Nov when it cools significantly....

I love Scuba diving, just not swimming around rigs... Diving with these tanks could get interesting though... Here fish... have a blast....

Scrap the heaters and get the nano. Better, instant pressure.
