Default New STS kit

Hello. i just got my STS kit today for my 2000 Trans Am A4. I got the GT-67 upgrade, their EBC, and the methanol injection, along with the Nelson tune. I was just wondering if anyone had any good tips for installation. Also, where are people putting the methanol tank? Here's a picture of my new muffler.

With the car in the air work from the middle outward with the pipes. On our LS1 we used the windshield washer tank, and installed the pump on the frame in the bumper. On the LT1 a custom bracket holding both the 2.5 gallon tank and pump which bolts up in the drivers side bumper area. We have some pics on our site, and will update them soon.

If I ever get the money for forged internals, I can up the boost, and it's more efficient than the 60-1 at higher boost levels.

So with the LS-1 I shouldn't use the base tank?

It would be self preference where you would like to mount the tank or which one to use. The windshield washer tank works well because its close, usually holds enough meth, and doesn't require any other fabing.
