Default Hidden Nitrous

Any of you guys have hidden nitrous on your cars? I want to do this and I am thinking of placing a single fogger nozzle on the underside of the intake elbow. Running fuel and nitrous lines down the sides of the intake behind the injectors covered in flex loom to the selinoids mounted on the fire wall. With swithces mounted in the ash tray and the bottle in the trunk of course.

Any thoughts on this setup?

The first rule of fight club .... :p

There are a lot of tricks to hide the system (for both aesthetic and financial purposes).
For the second reason, you might have a hard time getting people to speak publicly.

I wish I had pics of the kit from the third gen. Lol fogger kit under the manifold jetted for 150 starting. Solenoids were on the firewall by the brake booster and covered with a panel. Nobody ever saw it. Luckily didn't have to use it much since the motor was a healthy 406. Lol. I'm thinkin of redoing something similar on this car but it was pricey (~$1200 IIRC), so it may wait.

Running the feeds thru the china wall and into the bell housing would be one way to do this. The solenoids will be quite a distance from the jets, but this will keep your motor from sounding so obvious when you hit it. Purge during the burnout and no one will be the wiser.

Exactly. Someone asks for you to pop your hood you simply reply, "Last time I checked this was no car show..."
The last thing you want to do in a street race is pop your hood. It's a great way for someone to make up bullshit stipulations and just complicates things all the more.
