  • 2lbs. NOS bottles

    Okay, I think these things would look better than a 10 lbs. bottle, take up less space, but how much of a shot do each hold? After I install my CAI/Headers/Catback i will get a nitrous system and run a 50-75 shot of dry or wet still havent decided. Also I will be getting a window switch. Also, is a NOS RPM Activated Switch same thing as a Harlen Window Switch? I am now leaning torwards a dry. But the NOS 5175 sys. on thunderracing.com says its for a 3.4 ?

    Yep it says 3.4, and the diagrams in the instructions show a 3.4 intake, but it's also for the 3.8.

    One of the online sites, maybe NOS, says a 10lb bottle runs about a minute and a half. That's about six runs. (maybe a little more in practice...) I think I get about 10 good runs.

    A 2lb bottle would be around two runs. Not much margin for finishing up the second run...

    I've been tempted to shop for a 15lb bottle.

      Look better???
      You have been watching too much of the slow and the rediculous.

      Nitrous bottle sizes do not apply to a specific HP amount. The 2 lb'ers just won't maintain psi for extended use due to their small size. PSI is critical for nitrous use.

      NOS kit 5175 is for a 3.4 and 3.8. Go with the Harlen because we know it works [img]smile.gif[/img]

      Dry shots are great for beginners.

        Go with the harlan window switch. I don't think anyone has had any trouble making it work. I installed mine in about 20 minutes, including a trip to the autozone to pick up a 30amp relay.

          a 2 pounder is good for like 1 run, they are usually used on jetskies, motorcycles, or even scooters.
