if you are talking about a street racing sleeper. the gym bag idea has been done a million times. 5lb bottle in dash and a dry kit. i wont tell you where to put it but there is somewhere that will never be found. Also the first thing they will look for is nitrous and then rear end. easy count the bolts.

Don't wanna do a dry kit and have bigger injectors that someone could see.

Gym bag of win lol.
Yeah, I am surprised more people don't know about it haha.

You could also make a bracket and run the bottle under the rear bumper if you were to take the support out.

Just pray no one ever rear ends you.

Or ditch the door bars and run one 5lb bottle in each door.

**** I bet I could fit one under the passengers side dash and it would blend it if i carpeted it on the visable side

seems to me I read an acticle about a mustang putting little 5lb bottles in his doors and running the lines through existing stuff in the car. Even the techs at the track couldn't figure out how he was breaking out of his class. Thats really sleeper!

Thats the idea I was talking about, I think he ran all the lines along the path of the speakerwires and covered them in loom. Just pop the speaker grills off and open the bottles and you'd be set!

thats the one! when I read that article I had all kinds of ideas! Just imagine how much fun you could have with a setup like that. Put remote openers in there and wire them up to a switch that is already in the car and then you are really talkin!

the Compucar nitrous in a bag kit has very little braided line. The solenoid is basically straight off the bottle, everything after the noid is tiny black vacuum looking line. There is no nozzle to speak of, just a brass fitting with a metal tube coming off that can be angled to wherever the MAF likes it the best. No crazy electrical stuff either, it comes with a cigarette lighter plug in and a button. I've had 2 of these kits in the past on my old Camaro, nobody ever found it. Had the bag behind the seat where I could just reach back and open it. I usually tossed in a shirt/short/socks to help camo it, if someone were to take a quick look.

The modded TPIS 90mm LS6 intake uses an oval throttle body and looks nothing like a stock throttle body/intake.

That was in Muscle Mustang & Fast Ford. they installed the bottle in the pass door, the solenoid was installed inside the cowl panel, and a nylon tube "painted black" was routed through the back of the vacuum distribution block that mounts to the fire wall and ran the nylon tube through a factory vacuum hose to the back of the intake. The nylon hose acked as the jet, it has around 165-170hp shot dry.

If I was gonna race said car, the slicks would scare the ***** outta me and while racing if I noticed the thing never shifted into 4th I'd really start getting suspicious (assuming the race went long enough).
