Well, the bottle bracket looks bulletproof. The question is how that bracket is bolted to the seat...

If it's bolted all the way through, it should be fine.
If it's just screws, it could be a problem.
But I would assume that during the run he will have a helmet on...

Remember that his car is right-hand-drive so the bottles are mounted behind the empty passenger seat. Still should be securely fastened though...

Chris, thanks for reminding me they're backwards over there.

no negative, i just preach safety first... bracket looks very solid but that seat back cannot be the best choice of places to mount it..

Brett, Get your pilot qualifications...

If you try to run that much N2O with out a independent high capacity fuel system for the N2O I will promise you a bunch of holed pistons.

For what it is worth.

So do the solenoids or controllers know if they are not getting adequate fuel pressure? Will it shut itself down, or balance out, if the fuel flow is not adequate? I know that Carl, with his supercharged OB, had to run an extra fuel line from the tank, and an extra fuel pump, to handle the extra fuel his supercharged car was consuming.

actually, it would be cool as a cucumber if it goes real lean. beyond 17:1. but near stoich, you are right. bad things will happen. real lean actually creates lower EGTs and CHTs. "Real" is relative.

Are you putting this on a dyno to see what numbers you get? Or are you going to run it on an air strip or something. I caught the part about the suit, so I figure you're up to something. No roll cage? Big tanks bolted to a seat back (regardless of what is in front). I don't know man. I hope you achieve your goals, but by the looks of it, this thing looks iffy. JMHO Good luck!

WOW.....but you will need a BIG fuel pump to keep up with that.....I would think Bosch 044 at a minimum...or bigger....
