Yup sprayin it out of the whole. Buuuut I have a 3000 stall too. 4wd launches are awesome on black top all four tires squal and it flat out huals ***. Yeah Im keeping my fingers crossed about the whole breaking sutff. The converter feels like its on its way out though. But I think it has more to do with the fact that I tow alot and go offroading and am just plain hard on my truck.

Lance,you were spraying a 150 shot though huh????That is why I stay away from that much nitrous,I do not want to break things!I figured the 100 shot is perfect which I am still very satisfied with!

I couldnt imagine not getting 50lb mother bottles at a time. I could only take having to go to a speed shop every other day or week after only two bottles and I live about 7 minutes from one before I started getting the mother bottles!

Mother bottles? Im still kinda new to nitrous. The hp of nitrous is addicting and when my new engine is in ill be bumping it up to 150-175. I believe lance was spraying a 175 shot by the tim eit was all said and done if I remember correctly. I think that my truck being 4wd and splitting the power to all four tires will help with drivetrain longevity. Luckily I have an extremely buitl 60e hopefully it will last so far I have been spraying through the shifts and no slipping as of yet.

When I say mother bottle I mean the 50lb bottles they use to fill the small bottles with. Its a hell fo alot cheaper than getting 10lb bottles at a time if you havea source for them. Call some wleding supply places about them they are usually cool.

Well how much does that cost for the bottle and nitrous I guess you have to get a filling station too if so how much do those cost. I just got my bottle filled again today I wonder how long it will last.

You dont have to have a filling station. I dont. All you have to do is put your empty 10lb or 15lb(whatever) in the freezer for a half a day or longer get a n20 hose and nipple for the big bottle,open both bottles and thats it! The fill station saves you the trouble of freezing the bottle but thats no biggy to me! As far as prices it ranges. I ahve to pay $6 a month as long as I have the bottle and like $120 to get the big bottle filled!

Sounds like a plan so when I empty my bottle just open the valve and make sure its empty then put it in the freezer. When I put it in the freezer does it matter whether the valve is open or closed?
