ok i wont run it all the time. just to play once in a while but i guess i pull three nights a week with it. ive never seen water or propane in a truck, how hard or easy are they to install, or where do you hide the bottles.

Very easy and worth every penny! Get them all then! Water system is 5 to 9 hundred
Propane system about 2000. including tank there are cheaper systems but the tank is 700. to 800. by itself! Now the NOS system is 500. to infinity. Now remember with great power comes great distruction hope you have a fat wallet! Don't forget the trans and twins!!

You can run any tank you want! It's just how clean of a setup do you want!

I would go water methanol. If you mix your own (recommended!) You could mix it at 65/35 meth to water and gain 90 horses and reduce egt's by 150 to 200 degrees. You could build your own kit for less than 300 dollars. And you COULD use your windsheild washer reservoir as a secret storage for limited use. But you will like it so much so then you will want a separate tank and run it more often.

I recommend Water Meth too...It will benefit you more.. Propane is really expensive and it can burn hot....Also Nitrous wouldn't benefit you at all especially if your truck is stock....
