Default HSW straight nozzle mounting

What do you guys recommend as far as mounting location of straight (180*) nozzles? Keep in mind I have a dual nozzle kit so theres two that need mounting. I know a lot of people say mount it about as far as the IAT sensor is but since my nozzles are straight mounting it in that area would either be shooting the nitrous against the inner lid wall, at the other nitrous jet, or towards the front of the lid. I've also read that mounting it on the sides of the lid might cause it to run a lil lean. Is that true for dual nozzle or is that just the rule on a single nozzle kit?

Since I want to keep the nitrous fairly concealed I was thinking of routing my nitrous lines up through the filter and fabbing up a small bracket that would hold both of the lines so the nozzles would be aimed right at the maf. It would also allow for adjusting the distance from the maf but my main concern with making this is blocking air flow. Do you guys think a bracket just large enough to hold 2 nitrous lines halfway through the lid neck would block too much air? Anyone have any ideas or pics of their HSW dual nozzle setup with straight nozzles?

if you make a small hole in the air filter just enough to get the nozzels through and use two washers one on the top and bottom that are bigger then the hole you can move the brackets for the lines to a better spot thats not in the way of the air flow

pardon my mspaint skills. Heres a small pic of what I was thinking about. the circle on top of the bracket would be a screw. The two bigger holes are where the nitrous lines would be clamped into. This way if the nozzles were too close or too far (rich/lean) i could just loosen up the screw, slide the lines forward/backward and tighten the screw. Do you guys think a bracket just big enough to hold both lines would block too much air or disrupt airflow?

There is guy on this site who has done this basic style, and it worked fine concerning a/f ratio. I can't remember who at the moment, but he posted pics on his set-up a few times. It's a good way if ya want hidden, I suppose.
Yes, the nozzles in the sides of the airbox have a tendacy to run lean because of the diluted (read: luke warmish) nitrous reading by the time the MAF gets it.
