Yea It looks like it would work really well. Might be no need to change intercoolers with that thing.

CO2 isn't that bad. Plus you'll only need to use it on Track days and really hot days in summer when you are pushing the car. I think i'll end up with two tanks Co2 and Nos.

How about Erna's in Oakhurst. That way we can do a run every day before you start work. I'm sure we could convince the current chef that an extended holiday would be good for his health.

When do you want to start and where will we meet? If others are coming from Fresno I could meet them in Coarsegold and then we could join up at Raley's parking lot.

Halon is a fire supression system used in the electronics sector. It is particularly popular because it does not leave residue on the engine compartment.

Oh, that Halon system! You're right, that would be ***super*** sweet to have in the Cooper. Do you know if anyone on NAM has done it yet?

Hi guys!!!!
I just got finished detailing the Frackmobile & got some **sweet** pictures. Steve (Custom Mini Shop) did an awesome job installing my new M7 parts: USS, DFIC, DFIC Aerogel, EX Aerogel, DFIC ramscoop, APD. There's some new Denso plugs & I finally got my oil changed. Finally, Steve said it was like 100W it was so thick. Anyways, I thought I'd share some pics with y'all.

Here's the other pics too! I took a picture of the Aerogel EX so you can see where it goes. Before Steve did the install, I wasn't sure what you're supposed to do with it.

It would be like NOS, you need to fill it after a couple of uses.

Look at the Alta System.

Oh, well they are two different things. The water Injection is to keep the gas from pre detonation. There for making it ok to run pump gas when you would otherwise need a high octane.

The CryO² intercooler sprayer is to reduce the temperature of the air/fuel intake charge.
