Don't think you would be able to get it in there and fit sheets of plywood on the floor. You would be able to put cross bars in and carry them high. I very seldom carry anything big in the bed. Have a trailer for the big stuff.
Yeah I'm planning on being there the 7th. Don't know how hard and how many times I'll run it down the track though.

That figures I dont now if there is enough room behind the seat in a reg cab thats probably where it will go, Ill figure something out. You just need that one good run but it is so tempting to keep runnin cause you know you can go a lil faster.

I also have slipped a piece of wire loom onto the line going into the filter so that it isn't as obvious even with the hood up. I was going to spin the filter around so that the line is on the bottom, but it's a lot easier to adjust the pills with it this way. It's a homemade Dry shot btw, made up from different parts I had laying around. It's taken my ecsb to 13.4x's from 14.5x's on motor alone. I like the system being button activated so I can make sure the truck has traction before spraying.

Goldenvelvet has his mounted under the bed if I'm not mistaken, nice setup IMO... if mine was ever mounted outside the cab, thats how I'd do it... too much crap gets thrown in the bed of my truck from 10ft away to have a bottle back there begging to get damaged LOL....

Figured I'd post up this follow-up.
Went out last night for a spin in the truck. Turned on the bottle and was greeted with a blast of gas to the hand. Shut the valve back off and see the gas escaping from the end of the pressure regulating switch. This is a 2 week old kit. Before buying the kit a guy on the local forum had also mentioned that he has had to replace 2 of these same switches for leaks.
Anyway, no big deal. Contacted HSW and requested a replacement which they are willing to do after I send the defective switch back to them. Only problem is I wouldn't have the pressure regulated nitrous for the track this Friday.
So now the plan is go to the local speed shop and buy a better switch to make my track date. Send the switch back to HSW at my cost, get the replacement and sell the probable junk switch on ebay.
