Your right about the companys not knowing enough about running propane with nitrous. You do not have to put the propane inside your car. I would recomend find a place in a fender well or mounted on frame, for safety. I don't think you would pass tech at the strip with a bottle in the car?

the only thing about mounting the propane bottle in the fender wheel or on the frame is the fact if you get in a reck and somebody happens to just hit you at the spot the bottle is mounted, could cause an explosion. i mounted my bottle in the spare tire well and i only have a couple bungy straps holding it in so if i get hit HOPEFULLY it will allow a little flex. and as far as tech goes they haven't asked to see in the tire well yet

Yea, my jetting table (which I will post for all later today) is for up-right tanks and 140/160psi.
About the propane under the car, that's how you can pass Dept of Trans, and is standard. That's where I had my tank mounted on my Big Block Chevy. Think about it, you take the chance of your gas tank being a bomb everytime you drive, and we would never choose to put our stand alone fuel tanks inside the car. With that said, I will probably put mine in the small compartment (vette) in back.

i could understand if it was up under the car somewhere. i thought you were referring to it on the side of the frame or tucked in some tight location that if it were to get hit would cause it to bust open and possibly explode.
and i understand that i take a chance with getting the gas tank hit, but it also doesn't have 140/160 psi built up in the bottle and use fittings that could possibly leak as easy as a small propane tank (i've heard horror stories of the tanks exploding in RV's and what not)
please don't think i am second guessing you, i am sure you know more about this stuff than i do, i am just telling how mine is setup and how it appears to me.
anyway do you know what the advantages/cons in gas vs liquid are? which one would be better?

This has got to be the best discussion on this topic I've ever seen.

Here is the jet table I have using NOS jets:
These jet sizes are for running 140/160psi on your propane tank.
Now I would log for a/f and KR for fine tuning and optimum performance, but these are known good starting points. Every set-up is a little different depending on volumetric efficinacy. You will not blow your motor up using this jet table.
For those that have been PMing me, I will be out for a while, as I go in for neck surgery in the morning. They are removing two vertabrae in my neck and replacing with plastic, then tying everything together with SS plates. Oh boy fun. Talk to ya all later.

Good to hear your doing ok. 
And sence your back I take it your jetting chart is for a single or duel nozzel setup and not a DP set up right? If so anyway to work it out for a dp kit?
