I know you can, I've seen cars with two. Not sure about the hook-up or even if you really need two for the street. But for $20 it's nice to have a spare bottle I quess? Do they ever "go bad?" Hell I would have got just to make a lamp out of. LOL

It always a good idea to have a spare full bottle, just in case....

I would use it as a spare. You can run both at the same time. It just doubles your holding capacity.

if you want them both moutned in the trunk and hooked up you just need a y-adaptor and then another two lines to hook to the Y.

If you wana sell the bottle, I'd buy it. A NOS bottle right next to my CO2 bottle would look sweet!

Running two bottles has other benefits then just holding more nitrous...

It has the added benefit of better sustained performance. That's the best way I can put it right now lol. When you spray nitrous obviously bottle pressure and line pressure drop a bit (from both the nitrous cooling and it leaving the bottle). A lot of hardcore racers have told me the same thing running dual bottles seems to help with having a consistant hit and therefore consistant times in the 1/4. I wish I could explain this better but I can't.

You could always go onto lamustangclub.com look for a member who's screen name is on'dsauce. He can give you a much better explination then I can.

Something to add on to my previous post.

I was somewhat correct LOL. But where the real benefit comes in is during the run especially towards the middle/end of it. That is when the dual bottles help maintain constant line pressure and allow for a better sustained hit.

Thanks.

Like I said I can't really explain it that well. If you want a real technical answer you can ask Pete (on'dsauce) over on my clubs boards. Or I might just have him do a small write up. I'll see if I can get in touch with him.

A bottle heater does the same thing. I see your point, but it isnt really a problem with the shots these guys are gonna run.

I think what he is trying to say is that when you start to use the last little bit of your nitrous, the pressure in the lines goes down because the pressure in the bottle goes down because there isn't as much gas left. It's like pulling the the release on an air compressor. When the compressor gets near emtpy, the air coming out of the compressor slows down (less pressure/less power).
