would it be ok to mount a 15lbs like this

That's exactly why I didn't want a 15lber. They're too damn long for back there! (I still have my passenger seat though) Now, don't get me wrong, it'll be ok as is. I think you've got the concpet that the bottom of the bottle should be the lowest and rear most point when mounted. It just looks strange cocked at such an extreme angle.
I've got my 15lb bottle mounted sideway in the rear tub of my vette. I rotated the botle so the pickup is at a 45 degree downward angle to parallel. On the thought of accelerating will change the angle of pickup slightly, it seems to work without an issue, as I've run about 8 bottles through this way
I mount my bottles sideways as well, as joey pointed out, the only thing you might want to do is rotate the orientation of the bottle just a little bit so the pickup is in the liquid under acceleration (dont have the bottle **** straight up, but rather foreward just a tad)

I had my 15lber mounted in the t-top holder area sideways forever and just tilted it slightly like everyone else said, and then I needed to put both 15lbers in the car and put them on the deck, check the attached pics.
I was thinkin about puttin one on each side the way urs is, but I couldn't figure out how I was gonna mount the brackets to make it work and they didn't seem like they would fit with the seats in, and up on the deck gives the perfect mounting position for the bottles. Just had a buddy weld screws upside down on the deck to use as studs and put the brackets over 'em and tightened down a nut over 'em to hold 'em in.

200-350 i was thinking the same thing but was going to try it first with one bottle. I was going to try to turn the bottle pressure up a little so it will run a little leaner at first but not fall on its face at the 1320. Do you have heaters or just two bottles?

You guys that want to run bottle at non stock angle, all you have to do is re orientate the pick up tube inside the bottle next time bottle is empty.
I also run dual bottles for the pressure drop thing, but still can only get 4/5 passes when going big hit. Running dual heaters also.

I dont think the pc680 would like two 240watt heaters. Wonder if I can find two like 100-150 watt heaters. Could I mount both bottles close together like touching and rap one heater around them

EDIT: here's one we did where the bottle was just rotated, so as to pick up well on acceleration. It works great.

Another thing you can do while this is apart is to flare the end of your pick up tube, this will minimize phase change for better overall performance (some companys allready do this like Speedtech).
