    trying to set up my air shift on my pro banet b&m shifter and a air thottle to controll lauch rpm...here is what i have now..a 10 oz co2 bottle and a 80lb pre-set regulator.
    [1]do i need bigger bottle or can i keep my bottle?
    [2]can i "T" off outlet side of regulator to supply air for both thottle and shifter?
    [3]will the 80lb. regulator work the air thottle[its a Biondo Air Throttle with Quick Exh. Valve SLP part no#
    [4]if i need a biger co2 supply then could i use the bottle i have now for shifter then get another 10 oz. bottle for the air thottle.
    [5]would it be legal to mount them on outside of frame rails where i see a lot of firebottles mounted most time..on fuel altered

    Not sure how much air supply you will need with the shifter and air throttle but I use a Contender Products dual regulator setup with a single 2# bottle. It's lightweight and easy to set.

    I use a 14oz bottle with 1/4" lines for the shifter, throttle and chute launcher. I run 150 PSI regulator because it launches the chute better. Probably ran an 80 or 90 PSI setup before adding the launcher.

    I ran a combo like you want to use and it worked fine for me.you might want to set the co2 pressure up a bit.
