Default Is it okay to put to nozzle before the MAF??

Im making a stealth wet nitrous setup w/ my zex kit. I decided to run the lines with loom so they arent obvious and i painted the box black and made everything look legit. I thought up the idea of placing the outlet lines under the radiator covers which are part of the lid assembly structure and im thinking about drilling a hole through that and then a hole though the Bottom of the lid (not side) so i could hide the nozzle as well (so the nozzle would be stricking straight up). Will this nozzle placement create any negative effects since its before the MAF? Im thinking about just turning off the MAF and tuning it to run without it with HP tuners. OR is it okay to run the MAF??? let me know

NOT MY ENGINE BAY! Just an example of where i would run the lines (in yellow)

If you are running a wet shot (nitrous + fuel) it has to be after the MAF but if you are running a dry shot (just nitrous) it has to be in front of the MAF. If you are running a wet shot and do a speed denesity tune (no MAF) to get rid of the MAF you can do it. but a speed denesity tune is a pain in the ***. You have to change the tune every time the temperature changes 10 degrees or more outside.

But i dont use the nitrous on the street... What if i just disconnect the MAF at the track and shoot the nitrous from the lid (wet shot)? Would there be any problems to that? Or would the computer be all out of place??
