Nitrous newbie needing recommendations on a few things... I have ordered my first nitrous kit and it should be here sometime this week. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where i could mount the bottle in an 02z28? I would like to keep it hidden so i was thinking the area where the spare tire is located...
Also would it be better to run the lines on the outside of the car or can i run them on the inside?
thank you for any help

Spare tire well seems to be a favorite by many f-body guys, as for running lines, do not run them inside the car any half-awake tech inspector should not allow you to run. Some people do run the lines inside the car However I highly recommend you run them under the car parallel with a fuel or brake line (in split loom). And please don't forget the down-tube!

also make sure you swap those tr55s out to the correct heat range before spraying the car. good luck

ok well looks like i got the mounting location set.
only reason i asked about running the lines is because i've read a couple of installs that do and it just seemed awkward to do that. Everything will be covered in loom seeing as how i want to keep it as hidden as possible. My only question was with running it on the outside is the line more suseptable to rust/other weather problems?
The kit had been ordered for now. I will be purchasing the blow down tube, bottle heater, and other accesories with my next paycheck.

Always use a non-projected tip plug. Like br7ef or br8ef etc.. I think they make the 6 in non-proj also. Post up all mods and what hp level you plan on spraying so we can get you the right plug.

Well it would be the mods i have in my sig plus the nitrous dry kit and i only plan on spraying a 75 shot for now. I don't plan on spraying it much, maybe once a week or if I happen to make it out to the local drag strip but even at that I usually only make 2-3 passes

You would still need a spare tire plate to do that set up still.

i've read of some people having problems with it shutting it off earlier than what it is set to. how would i make sure this doesn't happen? and this only shuts off the nitrous correct?
