I don't run nitrous but I've seen a cool setup on a C5 where the owner ran the purge to the fender openings by the doors not sure what their called.

I just pulled the center push pin out of the cowl and ran the purge there. It is right in the center below the windshield. My line runs from my nitrous solenoid purge by the throttle body almost straight back to that point. With the purge right in front you have a good line of sight to make sure you are getting nitrous and the air is out.

Could have some fun and split it, running the outputs through the middle of the 0 in your Z06 fender badges.

Ive ran it like sig-forty, also out of each foglight opening, my favorite was running it out of the side coves for the cool factor.

I ran mine through the factory washer fluid grommet. I just disconnected the washer fluid line and re-routed it through the wiper arm hole. I also used 6mm push-lock air hose, it was easier than running and bending metal tubing.

The kit that I purchased came with a dual purge setup. Definitely not necessary but since I had it I went ahead and installed everything. Drilled very small holes in the cowl area and angled the lines so that it travels up the windshield. Easy to see from the driver's area and looks kind of cool I suppose. If you go with a route like this make sure you use zip ties or something to secure the lines as there is a lot of pressure that will move them around.
