Default What if my bottle isn't installed angled up?

Installing my NOS 5177 kit....and to get my bottle where I want it it's gonna be pretty much parallel to the groound instad of angled up.

Any major issue with this? Just maybe lose a little pressure when it starts to get empty?

It has to do with the angle of the pic up tube in the bottle. It is usaully placed so that upon accelaration, all the nitrous is forced to the area were the bottom of the pic up resides. This keeps it from coming uncovered. If the bottle is parralell, you may have hicups or surges from your tube becoming uncovered while racing. It probablly won't be a problem on a full bottle, but will come into affect around 1/2 full.

I've done this before, the shot usually does not feel like it kicks in as hard initially and you may notice some surging.

Thanks for the input guys. I went back and re-read the instructions.....says it's ok as long as it is "turned" properly so the pick up tube is positioned properly. I'm gonna give it a shot and see what happens......

Just lift the front wheels and you will be fine.
