drill tap TB for nitrous nozzle? I am setting up my wet nitrous kit on my 99 Z28. I am trying to decided where to plumb my nozzle in at and I have the stock accordian style bellow which I don't think its solid enough to hold a nozzle and not have the nozzle twist and turn inside it. My question is can I drill a hole in the throttle body on the very edge farthest away from the blade that I can get and tap it and thread my nozzle in there? The only thing I am worried about here would be good distribution but I am not going to spray under 2700 rpm anyway so what do you guys think?

The back of the MAF is not a bad idea though, I never thought of that. That would give enough distance that distribution would probably be better. Anybody think of any reasons why that would not work?

Even the smooth bellows though are just a rubber or plastic and I don't think they will be rigid enough to hold the nozzle and not have it twist and spin.

I agree though the back of the MAF would be great.

drill and tap the back side of the maf or get a nozzle adaptor fitting. either way is accepatable. I would not tap the throttle body just my opinion.

Thanks for the good ideas guys. I didn't even know they made those nozzle nut things to help hold them, thats a good idea. I think I might get one of those and a smooth bellow. Where do you all recommend I get a smooth bellow from that looks good? Something in black would be awesome.
