I have talked to many folks--STROUD has been the best tech and advice--he really seems to hate the foam stuff vs the gas--worth a phone call to him maybe?
I have always had a fascination with fast cars at the expense of more normal character development

DJ is close to having a supplier wrapped up. Working with Ben will be worth the weight if you have time.

Another + for Ben.  Good dude, and i'm sold on Coldfire.  I'm with Bruce too though.  20# in our cars is stoooopid.  I have it to be legal.  Never have set them off.  carefully actuator placement is worth it. :)  Two common ways to set up, FC way is one actuator sets off 20# of mess.  The other way is how mine is.  Two actuators, one for each bottle.  Each bottle is aimed at head gasket area of motor, and my twig & berries.
