Well I decided to start with the bottle and move from there. About 2 hours of work here. This is my first install so be gentle...

Thanks. Next will be the feed line to the engine bay. I'll be running it through the cab under the carpet along the passenger rocker and out the PCM grommet under the battery. Just working on it a little bit each day.

Keep the pics coming.

Hotrod did an install article "Baby on a bottle" C-5 specific has a decent how to (google will find it), found it very helpful on my install.

There is also a Zo6/C5 specific thread that showed all kinds of setups on this forum.

Great Deal on the opener! Your install so far and beer's both look great.

Once you get going sarge that bottle opener will be you favorite part. Those things are amazing in street cars.

Nice, I ran the line through the same spot. Nice switch panel, my friend and I just "made" one lol, it's alright all things considered. What size/where you buy the MTs?

Okay quick question:

I have the HSW Microedge Progressive controller and the wiring show a wire running to the TPS. I have a WOT switch but not a voltage sensing TPS switch for WOT. Does this controller act as a TPS switch? If so then I can ditch the WOT switch?

Just trying to get all my wiring layed out so I only have to pull through the firewall once.

Thx

Yes you can ditch the WOT switch, The TPS should be the Blue wire on the TB. You can confirm with HSW on there message board or shoot em a PM from here.

Slow and steady...

I really need a 36" or maybe 48" line from the N2O noid to the nozzle so I can put it under the passenger fuel rail cover. 24" ain't doing the trick.

Hey NX quick question for you.

How far can I seat the fittings into the noids? For it to line up like it was in the pic and sit nicely along fuel rail there is still about 1/2-3/4 more of turn before it feels like it gets snug. I have to back it out to line it up like in the pick. Will the loc-tite keep it tight enough or can I go that extra turn?

Does that make since? I guess it's a question of just how tight can you go with these fittings before it effects the operation of the noid.

Thx.

Go ahead and give it that full extra turn. It will be fine sir.
