Default Solenoid placement
Would I have any issues mounting the solenoids here? Too close to exhaust or coil packs? Thanks

You shouldn't have any issues but heat rises. We have a passenger side head bracket that might be good for your application.

I thought about that but I would have to extend my nitrous line. What would be the negatives of the heat? Shorter solenoid life or just risk of fire?

As the solenoid gets hotter, it is harder for the coil to pick up the plunger

Ended up making this bracket today. I just didn't like them being that close to the headers.
