Default dry kit

so i am getting a TA soon and picked up a zex dry kit from a friend for next to nothing, first off i want to hear opinions on throwing a 75 shot on a mostly stock motor (lid, lts, etc)...also i want to completely hide the kit, bottle in the spare/jack area, selenoids in the airbox, nozzle underneath, etc..what have you guys done to hide your kits? and any opinions would be great! thanks!

This isn't my car..but I found these posted on here..





Be careful about nozzle placement. I tried 2 different locations but my car was still going too lean. So I bought the Interface from Harris Speed Works. It will let you put the nozzle anywhere, and you can dial in your Air Fuel ratio.

Nitrous Outlet sells a bottle mount that fits in the spare tire area, if you didn't want to fabricate your own.

Im getting that same kit latter this week from work, Ima look tomorrow and see how I could hide it in my lt1 Though I think it only comes with a 2 foot of line from the controller so I was thinking of mounting it by the computer in that corner and getting more line

I've read on here that LT1s aren't the best for a dry kit..since their computer isn't fast enough to add the required fuel? Might want to research a little on that.

would you guys recommend getting my maf reading scanned on spray, or should i be good to go with some trust in the pcm? and what do you think about the nozzle placement on the above pictures? i really like how that is done!

You would get your air fuel ratio checked..not necessarily the MAF...

Like I said about nozzle placement..it's hit or miss on some cars. I put my nozzle in a spot that a lot of people said worked fine...it didn't..went lean so I tried another spot...went lean. Now my SLP lid has 2 holes in it..haha. With the HSW Interface, you don't need to worry about where it is placed.

I bought a PLX wideband setup for $225 from a sponsor here. So I can monitor my air fuel ratio with it, and adjust it with the Interface.

Do not try spraying unless you are on a dyno or have a wideband!! I didn't have one, and went terribly lean and could have destroyed my engine.

Like posted above. If you're gonna go with a dry nozzle, invest in a wideband. Slight changes in spray pattern across the MAF will affect the fueling. The Interface will allow you to put the nozzle post MAF on the bottom of the bellow. This keeps it nice and secret.

ok, so now i am definitely going with the HSW interface, do you guys recommend a dynotune window switch kit too? or should i be okay to just run a wide open throttle switch? and is it necessary to get a wideband to keep an eye on things? im thinking i should get one too..
