nitrous?

I would say the 370 could easily handle a 75-100 shot from the 2 throttle ports, and while direct port is the best the manifold on these cars is designed

I would say the 370 could easily handle a 75-100 shot from the 2 throttle ports, and while direct port is the best the manifold on these cars is designed sooo equally that misdistribution is much less of a problem. Take the manifold off and look at how the runners are shaped and you'll see what i mean. As for safety your car won't explode if the bottle breaks open in FF that was actually because he was racing with a bar of Plastiq in the car. I've screwed around with N2O before (it's really fun) and all it does is make things burn faster and hotter. You can turn salami or a candle into an rocket with it but you can't make them explodeso in the event of an accident if you're N2O cylinder were to rupture you would only have a problem if you were trapped in the vehicle because there would be one nasty fire but no bang.

Also consider that you can buy a DOT approved gas cylinder to keep it in like all the the other MILLIONS of gas cylinders transported in the US daily. My grandpa had a cylinder of PURE O2 that was twice the size of most nitrous bottles and he got in three accidents (2 major) before we took his keys.
