you could also place it where the air pump is, or was in a z, should definatley fit underthere, and if the bottle is black, it should be well hidden. Mine is in the spare tire well.

^^^ You think a 5 lb bottle would realy fit there? Is that common? I know most people have a 10 in the spare tire well or on the hump in the back seat. I just thought it would be a good place to conceal it behind a fake speaker enclosure.

Honestly I can't find my pics... I'll take some now.
edit: Right now, no brackets hold the bottle in place... only the tight, tight fit. If I don't get the angle on the bottle opener just right, it pushes up on the plastic panel a bit. I've never had it fall out on me, though I've never tried Auto-Xing with it either. The bottle heater is the one NX sells for 10 and 15lb bottles, but the straps were shortened a little. The heater doesn't touch anything except the bottle. I haven't installed the blow-down tube yet(probably going to be a -8AN hose), but that shouldn't be a problem. I also had to ditch the 16' line from NX and get 20' from NOS... Hey, it was $50 cheaper!

I'm planning on running a 75-125 dry shot on this. It'll be a supplement to my 300 direct port, or in some cases, a cheater shot. I haven't done the dry yet; however, it used to feed my 175 wet shot on the Maximizer (44% on at 2750/3000 rpm progressing to 88% at 3500 rpm, shut down at 5900 rpm using 200 jets: NX's 76n & 44f I think) I probably got about 4-5 good runs out of it plus a quick purge for every run with the bottle at 1000+ psi each, except sometimes run #5 would have 900 and die hard on me.
All runs were on the street. At the track I normally tempted fate with 200 and 250 shots.
