nitrous tank line question How much does the gas temp change when it leaves the nitrous bottle fitting to when it gets to the silonoid in the engine? I know it varies from setup routing and underhood temps but is it a lot? Would any gain from wrapping those hose or insulating it to keep the cold in?

The line itself should not get cold and really it shouldn't need to be shielded because as long as it is bound down and doesn't hit any expansion points then it wont get cold. It should only get cold in the lines after the solenoids and that should be minimal but it would be normal for the nozzle or plate to get cold.

The main feed line is still dropping around 60-70 degrees but you are not going to see any benefit from insulating them. At 900-1000 psi the nitrous is moving extremely fast.
