Any idea of what this does the 0-60 or the quarter mile?
Haven't gotten a chance to track yet. I will put up numbers once I get the information logged.

With that said, even on the 50 shot the jump from 40-120 happens in no time flat.
Thanks for posting some of the parts list!
You are taking the right approach with the ramp up but have you seen some of the oldschoolers posts with 150+ shots on this motor from years ago? It is very safe if executed properly; youre def. ready.

Can you post pics of the bottle set up in the trunk? All in what you think it ran you cost wise? Parts and then install.

In the end an owner can toss thousands at exhaust mods, intakes, and throttle controllers........BUT this NOS set up will make the other gains look weak. Way more bang for your buck and with the modern wet systems they are very safe .

Still cant believe the boost in the torque. AMAZING !!

Yeah, definitely wanted to start slow. Upped the power yesterday. Put down some pretty impressive numbers. I feel like I just hit the sweet spot and am very content. Will put up pictures of the dyno pull.

I put in a little over two grand in parts. Then install ran around the 1500 mark. My guys said install would be around 750 initially, but as we went through everything we kept changing things, making custom brackets, mounts etc, and the time added up and up. I am still completely content with the total cost. Slightly more than a well built exhaust system and the numbers are really good.

Here are the bottle mount pics. I decided to put it farther inside the trunk, because I am going or stealth. I want to keep everything as much out of the way and hidden as possible. Already considering a way to hide the bottle.

So here are the new numbers after turning up the power. Running around 100 shot. The power loss to the wheels per the shot amount is really impressive. Now I am going to need some new tires.

Old school way to hide the bottle is to put a gym bag over it. Setup looks great.

Thanks guys. I am really impressed with the 100 shot, kicks much harder than the original 50. Now time for tires and the track.
