with my compucar bottle in a bag system we sprayed many different cars always hidden , 10 minute install typically put duffel bag that contained the bottle/solenoid etc.. in the trunk , run the tiny black plastic line that comes with the kit from the trunk to up under hood tucking under carpet , under door sill trims ,etc.. up top of door jamb into rear top portion of fender and to entrance of intake , usually we were spraying w bodies with a fenderwell intake setup and would poke a hole in the end of the cone filter and stick the spray bar right into the center of the element then put a Christmas tree style plastic plug in the hole when system was removed

on a Camaro you would want to route the spray line up through in front of the radiator so the bar points right into the filter , pull the lid and filter till you can get it secured pointed right at the filter usually using black wire tires. Then you also run the black wire up through the same way from the trunk but route it so you can plug it in using the cigarette lighter power source and can reach the button pigtail with momentary switch to be able to spray it when you want to. There is no purge which is fine with a dry system and on a car fighting for traction it makes it a softer hit which can help keep it from going up in a ball of smoke.

A 10 lb bottle fits perfectly in the little storage area where the spare tire goes

I would install the kit and route everything so you can't see it. That way, its hidden. Its easy.

I've hidden bottles in a couple places on these cars. I wouldn't suggest one of them due to a safety concern in a rear end crash, and one will only work if you don't have any hvac. Changing bottle is an at home project

Engine bay is easy to hide stuff that's never the issue, it's the bottle itself that's hard.

I would also add that I don't think the track would like one of these spots as well. But for street racing/making money it worked fantastic.

Is bottle positioning critical? I mean does the bottle have to be positioned front to rear in the car?
