I'm glad to see I'm not the only one. LOL And then to have the shop tuning it tell me it leaked like crazy (nitrous fittings) and I screwed up part of the wiring. Oh well, that's why their there, to fix my screw-ups.

Came out pretty good. A couple cable ties on the lines will hold them from jerking when you activate.

Heres what happened when I went to do a quick 150 shot install...

Two weeks later I still have one full bottle, one empty(new) bottle and no nitrous wiring started yet. Why cant I leave well enough alone?

Nope, it took two...so looks like you're behind the power curve

I don't exactly see how installing the nitrous led to you doing all that...but im sure there was a good reason

I'm kind of **** about making my car appear as though it were totaly stock with drag tires on it, that way when I pull the wheels about a foot off the track and light up the boards with a mid 10 second pass people are shittin their pants. My wiring has been minimized to eliminate all wires that are not used any longer and the area where the passenger airbag used to be is now home to my computer and soon the Nitrous controller and related relays yup you knew the deal...

It's not that bad. Once you ditch some of the BS, there's not that many connectors left under the dash.



Nice clean install on the spray to the OP

You definitely have a task on your hands, but it's easy to make a car appear stock on the outside and suprise any spectator. However taking that much time to clean up wires and move the computer inside is a lot of extra work. How in the world does appearing stock apply to your interior with the cage inside?
