Get a Don Ness Racecraft sheetmetal titanium housing to throw your aluminum dropout 12 bolt center section or normal aluminum 9" into, along with titanium axles, etc. Just don't ask how much for the bare housing.

I think 50 full N2O bottles is cheaper.

ya just think, you can save all that weight of the engine and transmission, by just hammering off all those bottle valves........
