The wiring for the box is long enough to reach even when you have it mounted in the glove box or under the pass seat? Just wondering. Thanks.

I my run it in to the glove box if it reaches then. I need to look at my wiring to figure out what all I will need to change for the nitrous( which most of that is in the console)

JESUS. Talk about thread from the dead. I mounted that sucker in the glove box a long time ago. It gets kinda hot, but it looks sweet at night riding around with the glove box open with the digital red numbers visible.

The search worked this time. Thanks just trying to see if any new ideas came up. I was thinking of removing the abs and putting it there. But I dont have the time to order a porportioning valve. I thought about the battery tray but then I would need a battery box and I would have to move the nitrous bottle.

I gave up on moving mine to the glovebox, it has never moved from just being placed behind the K&N CAI. I can easily move it around if need be.

Glovebox space is reserved for my fuel pressure gauge box, and fairly soon down the road, a FJO nitrous controller.

I have two screws holding it down. It's been awhile but I'm pretty sure they're on the left side.

I thought about mounting mine like that today. Decided I'm gonna put it someplace else...right behind the airdamn on the bottom of the radiator. My radiator mount is modified so I can tuck right there and it won't be in the way of anything. Once it's mounted I post some pics.

Right where I put mine today. I read the instructions or part of them for a change and mallory said to mount it so it would stay dry. I have seen many msd 6's getting soaked and they never had a problem. But it wont get wet there.
