Nitrogen not Co2 for Air Shifter & Throttle Stop
Can Nitrogen be used to replace Co2 for Drag Race Cars? Cost differences, etc. I already am using nitrogen in slicks and have a 20lb?? bottle in race trailer.

Another option is buying an old high pressure scuba tank (3500psi) and trans fill your little bottle with plain old compressed air that you buy for $10 for 120 cu ft (or whenever you notice that the little bottle won't quite get up to pressure).
