Nitrous

[1iron]

Aaa

[DolSVT00]

Parks on rivers. its 3.80 a pound I think.

[LXtasy]

nitrous is for cheaters.









used to get them filled through a friend. thinking of getting personal filling station though;

[s14.5gonewide]

its a power adder... that like saying turbo/supercharger is cheating..

[Illusions]

I beleive it was a joke. aka "an old debate"

[Robert Holton]

so everyone on here uses it?

not me!

[mustang28027]

ive used it once with a small shot,dont need if your all motor car can run 6s

[BAD BOB]

i use some on my stock motor and it works ok

[LXtasy]

its a power adder... that like saying turbo/supercharger is cheating..

Nope, nitrous is still cheating :bigthumb:







All jokes aside, Nitrous is my power adder of choice. Easier for me to use nitrous to run 10's in the 1/8th mile than actually do mods. :D :D

until a smaller cubic inch motor with more weight gaps you.

Nitrous is fine until it is all out. Then you have to go out and find some more to get your fix. Before long, you are hopelessly addicted to it and will do most anything to keep getting your fix. :hysterical:

Damn yall got me on 2 addictions...... eccept the 2nd one, I quit it and use the 3rd one to replace it.

[Darryl Buckner]

I fill my own, its the way to go if you use enough of it..:bigthumb:

[tator1991]

not me all motor

[Chillerman]

I fill my own. Tried the Parks thing. They only fill your bottle to 80% of capacity. I guess they don't to be responsible for over-filling.

[minytrker]

When I was there I sold it for $4/lb all the time, wasn't getting rich or anything by any means. I just found out today nitrous here is $6/lb so it looks like I will be getting two mother bottles again. I about fell over at $6/lb.

[Robert Holton]

we fill bottles at supermanmotorsports

[LXtasy]

we fill bottles at supermanmotorsports

whats the price?

[Darryl Buckner]

Thats because Parks at least a few years ago, didn't have a pump. They freeze your bottle and cryogenically make the transfer, and typically you cannot completely fill a bottle that way. A pump is needed to get the last pound or so in. I would never get nitrous from someone without a pump..

Yep, I recently went through that, not quit that much but a big difference in price non the less. Also I wasn't allowed to use my own 75 pound cylinders anymore. They wouldn't refill them because they were not certified, so I had to start leasing their cylinders at about $15.00 each per month...

Thats just funny. :roll:

Go to a welding supply company and see if you can get your cylinders certified.... If they have the right valve and pass the visual/Pressure test you should be good......

Somebody's backyard, but not in quite sometime as the turd hasn't left the garage.

That is what Airgas National Welders is. They will only fill their own that is certified. Years ago they use to fill the 25 pound bottle for you car, and they don't do that either..

I'm thinking they still don't have a pump. The one time I dropped it off in the morning to fill, they said it would be late afternoon before it would be ready. When I picked it up, the math on the bill equaled 8 lbs. of contents and not 10.

You can get the full 10 lbs. in there using the freezing the bottle method, as that is the way I'm doing it. Actually the first time I filled mine, it was about 3/4 lbs. overcharged according to my refrigerant scale.

My process takes about 3 hours to fill the bottle. It's pretty slow since I'm only using a 1/4' line.

[slowgreen99]

I got a boy to "overfill" mine at Parks when DB doesnt have any, or is out of town.

[Chillerman]

Obviuosly there's no consistancy in their filling methods, or who does the filling either. I hope this boy is experienced in high pressure cylinder handling. One wrong move can cost them their life.

true, but by overfilling im only talking 1 lb or so. But its at least the 25 lbs its supossed to be.

[Chillerman]

It won't be a problem when the weather is cool. But on a hot day, there is no room for expansion in the bottle. I hope you have a relief valve on your cylinder.

I dont, but ive had the bottle high as crap without being full....needless to say I dont leave it in my car in the heat anymore. Scary thoughts

[dkbmxer002]

Ive had a bottle peg the other side of the needle a few times lol

[s14.5gonewide]

last time i got a bottle filled it was 90%air.. i would get a good fill one week and shitty next it was so unconsitant..
this was up hear in mb tho. not down where u are.

glad 2 see you guys are at least getting filled and not ripped off.

[mustang28027]

Thats just funny. :roll:

why you say thats funny????im not a shit talker by no means,and yes i said 6s on motor in the 1/8 THANK YOU VERY MUCH

[jesse w]

My car is in the 6s on motor and I spray a 200 shot,I guess thats a small shot to some .:mrgreen:

Just because you run 6's on motor dosent mean your fast enough to not need nitrous. Like my brother said. His car runs 6's on motor and we still spray it. All on pump gas and its a very streetable car. You cant put limits on yourself like that. As time goes on the bar gets raised. If you dont keep up with the curve you will get left behind. I can remember when low 7's were stupid fast for a street car. And to tell you the truth high 6's isnt anything special anymore. Not trying to be a smart ass. Its just the way it is.

[Magoo]

your backyard. his slobra hasnt left his garage



Hal's got it. I usually fill up in your backyard, but no sense in filling up a bottle that's still full. Hopefully the tune I just loaded to the car is what it needed and I can start driving this turd again......

[Magoo]

. And to tell you the truth high 6's isnt anything special anymore. Not trying to be a smart ass. Its just the way it is.


Aint that the truth!

[mustang28027]

Mine won't run on motor at all. That damn neutral safety switch!

If it runs 6's N/A then shoot it till you go 5's.

True....im not being a bragger but i cant go to much faster i dont have a cage,ive done been told at the local track i need a cage,my car is a street car on pump gas,ive been 5.90s on 150 shot,but i want to try a 250 shot but i need that cage

aint that the truth.. i remember when a 10sec street car was like balls to the wall.. than the high 9sec range was like uber fast/scarry on the street.. u could not get a race if u posted a 9 pass 1/4 mile... u can all do the math on translating a 10/9 sec to a good 1/8 mile..

now u got street cars posting 8sec passes in 4cyl. if you are not pushing the envelope or make a more efficient setup you are just loosing out.. the technology has come around 100% in the last 5 years.

hear is the awd motorsports evo making a 8.7 sec pass.

sweet.. killer stuff... just saying people could only dream of 8/9 sec street cars a few years back.

drag week 06 had a 4cyl tubro mustang that was on he back bumper every run. car was incredable. todays technology is beyond my paygade but very impressive non the less

Bumping this back up to see where else to get a bottle filled besides Parks.

Have you talked to Dayrl B?

[Harry]

I am pretty sure that Darryl quit selling to people because of the complaining of the price.

[blkscls1z]

:laugh2: @ chris

If he still does it, I would rather have him do it.

Show Zone

[slowgreen99]

Show Zone

Not downing Show Zone or anyone there, but if you think for a second that Buckners prices were "high" then dont waste your gas to go to Show Zone. Just my .02

[DolSVT00]

Just saying, but i take my bottles to parks. I take them strait out of the freezer though... They were alwayse full by my scales when I done them like that.

[Illusions]

we do the same. we keep the bottles in the freezer then take them to parks. this is at least until we get our own filling station. Then we will gladly help people out.

[Basile99]

whats a safe shot for the Lightnings. i know my buddy with a SVT focus had 100 shot because he said his motor has a good chance of damages going any higher then that. because i was thinking of maybe doing Nos or going for Whipple haven't chose yet though.

[djfury05]

Where's everyone getting it now? I'm debating adding 150 shot to the LS7. Need refill station close by for motivation.

[djfury05]

Anyone?

[05Saleen]

This tread is over 2 years old....Parks sells it. Powerzone sells it.

[djfury05]

Yea I can read the dates thanks. Where are those places at?

[ShawnBoyMoody]

Parks on Rivers Ave in North Charleston and my personal favorite is HHP Carolina off Ashley Phosphate in North Charleston,. Also Powerzone off Remount Rd in North Charleston

[djfury05]

Thank you very much.. looks like I'll have to get a few bottles then since there's no where closer to me.

[05Saleen]

Savannah might be closer to you....There are a few of them on this forum. Maybe they will chime in.

[white99ta]

If your going that route let me know. I'll fill them for you when I go to my girls. I'm here every weekend then back down to Beaufort

[ElecTech]

We're no longer filling nitrous. We may start back up in the future, but for now we don't.

[ShawnBoyMoody]

Hoe snap.
