Sorry to butt in here with something that doesn't answer the question, but
this is a pet pieve of mine. People keep refering to Nitrous Oxide as NOS.
NOS is a name brand, specifically the name of Holley's nitrous subdivision
called Nitrous Oxide Systems. There are many other companies out there that
sell stuff, my favorite being Nitrous Works, owned by Barry Grant Inc. I
have some friends over at Barry Grant that get me stuff cheap, which is why
I'm installing a 3 stage nitrous system on my 5ktq very soon (solenoids are
out of stock, have everything else).

When it comes to a bottle though, no company makes a "better" one, but most
of them only sell one color or design (nitrous works has yellow ones) so you
could be picky and choose your bottle supplier based on what color they
offer.

Also sorry for this, but I feel a small rant comming on. <rant> WHY DOES
EVERYTHING HAVE TO BE OUT OF STOCK RIGHT WHEN I TRY TO BUY IT!?!??!?!?!
Autotech is out of valve springs (tried to order LAST MONTH, wont be in
until NEXT month, and I'm waiting on them to do the Blau cam), Nitrous Works
is out of solenoids, and today my local Bennett Auto was out of friggin
OIL!</rant>
