2 10lbs bottles would be the best i would think. Start with a 100 shot and then you could change from their. Also put 1 stage colder plug in it. Most poeple run a window switch. If you have a manual transmission i would suggest it. It's going to only spray in a certain rpm window. (whatever you set it at) You need to wire up an arming switch. With that off the nos will not work. When it is on is when it will spray. Also a Wide Open Throttle switch will also make is spray only when you have the pedal to the medal. With the arming switch on, and you have it floored the nos will spray. And you if decide to go with a window switch then is will spray when your in that certain rpm range. I'm sure other poeple can also help out on this topic.

A 10# bottle is going to add 25# to the weight of the car. Why add 25# of uneccesary weight for "looks purposes"?

And another 10 pound bottle will add another two hundred bucks to the bill.

2 10# bottles, 100-150 shot, not much needed to upgrade. i ran 150 on my 86ta with a stock fuel pump.

Adding a second bottle will do nothing for your performance.

Yes, this is wrong, but as stated in a few posts, it looks damn cool. I saw a picture just lately that had the bottles mounted were the rear seat backrest used to be. They were slightly angled in a upside down V. Very, very cool. No performance gain as was stated, and adds a few extra pounds, plus costs, as was mentioned. But the looks far out weighed the negatives, as far as I'm concerned. Go for it.

10 lbs is the weight of the n2o, add the bottle weight on top of that, not to mention the mounting hardware. Then some flow issues as its much harder to maintain pressure on a shared line. Unless you don't connect both, at which point its useless anyhow.

2 15lbs bottles will make the biggest visual impact and will fit nicely where the rear seats used to be. Have them custom painted in whatever radical theme you're looking to go with I'd spray a 100 shot if it's just a fun daily driver, I'd pull 2 degrees of timing and run a step colder spark plug. A Nitrous Express WET kit should work just fine either with a single nozzle or their Throttle Body plate. Upgrading and getting the Gen2 Kit adds a lot of safety and convenience features. Bottle Heater, Blow Down Tube, Fuel Pressure Safety Switch, Purge Kit, Possible dual remote bottle openers if you want those, A Digital pressure guage from Dynotune is awesome, Full throttle switch...Doing it "right" will be close to if now more than $1000. Dual bottles also means dual feed lines, a y fitting, dual brackets....goodluck!

Why add chrome wheels to a car, which adds unnecessary weight to the car for "looks purposes"?

Why add chrome plated engine parts, stainless steel kick panels, and big honkin chrome exhaust tips which all add weight, for "looks purposes"?
