If you go through 2 bottles a week you need to get a refill station.
Plus the time it takes for someone to fill it up has to be put in the price, if a shop is doing it for you.

yeah, that's what it looks like it has to be. It's always been fun having the n20 cars vs. the blown cars. Us n2o guys always liked saying we spent way less but it seems it's sadly not the same anymore.

I don't think I could bring myself to do a turbo set up for a muscle car. Somethin' about that low compression, boosted sound...just not aggresive enough I guess. Supercharged isn't so bad. There's nothin' like the sound of a high compression, big cubed big cam'd, bad ass with gas. just sayin'.

People need to stop being cheap and just turbo and never worry about filling again >.> you end up spending an assload in the end anyway!!! And you never have to race and go "ohh shit my bottles empty" lawl

Mathison Tri Gas sells it down here. But they get their bottles filled the same place as Air Gas. Western cylinder service or something similar.

Why not setup an LS1tech fill station? I'm pretty sure I can talk to them and add to my company's account.
