Nice. 200 is a big shot of gas. Not putting that through a stocky motor are you? I reckon it might go pop rather quick with it (especially if the turbo is still giving it a hand).... but then 400-500hp would rather cool :-D.

Not planning to hit it with a 200hp shot just yet, the kit has the potential but the engine doesn't, would definately go SNAP CRACKLE POP

I think BOC charge about $90 to refill a ten pound bottle.
I have supplier considerably cheaper.
As for boot space, we are building a plywood floor to mount the bottle carriers too which can be removed for street driving and put back in when we take it to the track with nitrous. If you look closely the brackets are not bolted in, the picture is just a dummy fit.
The plywood will be bolted to the floor where the rubber grommets usually go, so we won't need to be cutting or drilling the bosy to fit it or remove it.

And then he upsized it!!What class are you planning to run in Sean? And what tyre/wheel combo will you use - getting those neddies to the ground in such a light car must surely be a challenge?
The car current runs in Sport Rear and can still run there with the nitrous. The rules allow me to run full slicks, but I think we should be able to get it down somewhere aroun 1.7 60 footers on treaded radial tyres - It's actually run 1.6 60 footers before on treaded tyres, I just need to get out and practice some more, last visit saw terrible 60 fotters (over 2 secs).
I think we have the weight transfer spot on at the moment, so with a bit of practice we shouldn't have too many problems running consistently in the 1.7-1.8 range for the 60 footer. I don't want to make any predictions for MPH or ET until we see what sort of torque we can get out of it.
I've never taken a turbo and gassed car to the track before, so I'd say the first few outings will see me get off it half track and see how it goes, the way I run it on the track it still feels really light on gear changes, and I' rather run slow than hit the wall

Will keep you posted on the progress, but I'm not expecting it to be quick at all in the first few outings.
