I've got a Nitrous Works 120 wet shot on my car. I haven't sprayed it yet because I've got some platinum plugs. I'm gonna throw some TR6s in it, but have been putting them off until I get headers, and I may spray it on a dyno first to make sure everything is ok.

CANT WAIT!

Never hurts to be safe. I too had the car on the dyno first. They pulled 8 degrees of timing with the 685 box. And yes to the TR6s. My set-up right now needs a bigger nitrous jet, I'm a little to rich and need to start reading my plugs.

Don't know about Z-Rated but I put mine in the glove compartment because it specifically says not to put it where it can get hot or wet. If it starts feeling too hot I just open the glove compartment. LOL But most of the time it is closed up since I carry passengers. One guy did give me the suggestion of putting in a little computer fan to circulate some air around the box while it is closed.

Oh and it was easy to wire in.https://ls1tech.com/forums/lt1-lt4-modifications/932450-finally-after-6-months-nitrous-pics-video-included.html

I believe that was me. Don't laugh, but mine is mounted where the passenger side rear seat use to be. I bent up a small piece of sheetmetal painted it black and have it just high enough that there is a small fan under the 685 box. I didn't feel like cutting the brackets out, but didn't like how they looked, so I covered them up. On the hump is the Nitro Daves bottle mount, painted black, just like the matching sheetmetal piece on the drivers side back seat bracket that will have the fire extinguisher. The hump mount also has a couple of relays mounted to it and over all it doesn't look to bad. The back seat taken out helped compensate for the weight of the system, and is useless anyways, since I have a six point bar going in on the 23rd of this month.
I'll try and get pictures one of these days.

LOL I've tried that before, but then I blacked out and when I woke back up I found myself staring down at a full 10 lb. bottle strapped into the bracket and all the lines were already attatched
