Zora, nice rims. What type are they? To answer the question about the bottle, I am in the same boat as you. I am trying to find a good place.

You can just about fit a 5lb bottle in the rear storage compartment. With a 5lb bottle though, you won't get too many ¼ mile blasts...maybe 5-10?

Re: NOS bottle mounting location ideas (TIMSPEED)
is it ok to mount the bottle straight up and down?
when ever i see a kit the bottle is laying down or the valve end just up a bit from laying down.
:confused:
i thought about mounting it underneath where the spare tires was, any thoughts on this? safety issues or PITA to open the bottle.....thanks guys :cheers:

You car looks sweet!! I like the NOS location - how much grief from the OPP do you get from the front license plate location? Do you keep it on the dash all the time? I'd love to get rid of my front plate, but don't wish to be pulled over all the time either. Any horsepower numbers? On motor, and NOS?
More questions - who did you NOS set-up? Do they do NOS brand? I'm considering spraying my vette - thanks for the help!!

Re: NOS bottle mounting location ideas (DDSLT5)
agostino-racing didnt install my nitrous, but they built my first motor, which spun a rod bearing (more like disintigrated) after about 500-600km. they claimed it was the tuning to blame (detonation) but the car was originally tuned at his shop by his guy. besides all that i had to wait 4 months longer than we agreed on (i gave him 4 months to complete), i had to bug him every week and then he charged me more than he told me. Theres even more to it than that im just getting pissed thinking about it.
