Here's my underhood pics. I know that guys are going to be screaming, "Noooooooooooo!", for mounting my Zex managment unit on the fuel rail cover, but it actually was the easiest place and made the most sense. The nitrous line comes in right behind it, the lines to the plate flow naturally from that position and my window switch is nearby as well. This was my first attempt at a nitrous set up and I did everything myself. I'll get the bottle, mount pics later this week when I finish getting all of that wired.

99FRC, it actually looks fine. The only issue I have ever had with ZEX is the purple color, but hey, that's just me. I like the idea of going with the plate instead of nozzles, it looks real good on the Vettes.

Thanks! I had already purchased the kit before I found out about the plate, but it was a no brainer to make the change (it's just money, right?). I finished the bottle install yesterday and should be ready for spray after this next weekend (testing, calibrating and double checking). I'll post some more pics and SOTP results, and then hopefully get some dyno time in the next few weeks.

Here is a NX Wet Kit I just finished up last week on a C6. It turned out really clean and the vette runs strong. The client really likes the extra torque. I think the next kit I do will be a dry kit though. After working on this wet kit and getting all the tuning done I like the idea of having a dual tune when using a dry kit instead.

Dyno graph shows: Baseline with N2O tune, 100 shot, & 150 shot.






I used the NO Digital Window switch and it is below the stereo style fuse. Works really well with built in TPS.


Purge button, Arm, & Heater.




I mounted the V-purge behind the lower grill. You can see it in the center of the grill if you look close.



Nitrous really is addictive. Those whom have never driven a car with it don't know what they are missing.
The vette needs drag radials now though. It trapped 91.8 mph in the 1/8 mile with street tires spinning half track. That was a 7 mph gain from before the N2O install.

I like the idea of chroming the fuel rails and the brackets for the coils. Hope you don't mind that I steal it!
Looks good.

Go ahead and steal it.....it makes a huge difference on the appearance that's for sure. It's pretty ugly under the covers when it's stock.

Vettjunky, nice set-up. Did you do all the work? Took your time for sure, and it pay's off. Have any times? More details about your 200 shot, all at once, or progressive, on/off rpms etc.

ivandrea, welcome aboard. You also, it appears, have a nice engine bay. However, the pics need to be a tad bigger, so we can see the details.

Also, to everyone, we have a dedicated vette nitrous drag runs in the stickies. Submit your times, please.

Yes I did the install myself (would have it no other way). I ordered everything from Nitro Dave in Texas.

The 200 shot is all at once, and I also have an acumalator to keep from draining the fuel rail. When I first installed it I would get a huge stall and then a major blast. Once I added the acumalator it's as smooth as can be. Right now I have Nitto's on it so I break loose half the track. On the 1/8th I did a 7.00 even with a 1.72 60ft at 102mph. I haven't had a chance to get out to the 1/4 mile track yet. It's an automatic with a 3200 stall. I'm putting the 225cc AFR heads on it tomorrow, and my slicks should be here sometime next week. I'll let you know what the times are when I get it to the track.

Oh and the nitrous fires at 3,000 rpm at full throttle only.

Is that better on the size..........
