I mounted mine right on the radiator shroud. Pretty easy to mount them, plus they are away from the heat of the engine.

One before blower:

if you really have n2o on there, then you did a good job of hiding it

Look between the radiator hose and the radiator. There is a solenoid.

That is one stealthy install, no ricer could possibly spot that.

It's really all in plain view, I just gave everything an OEM appearance by using factory loom and flat black paint on the solenoids which (as already pointed out) are mounted to the radiator shroud. The nitrous and purge solenoids are on the right and the fuel solenoid is on the left.

Funny thing is that when everybody looks under the hood nothing stands out so the assumption is "just another stock LS-6."

Here are pics of my switches and how/where I mounted the purge lines (one per side).

and the switch plate i made.

http://www.willandheathervasser.com/...sol%20open.JPG

switches are: bottle heater, arm, purge, cutouts.

Bottle is mounted behind the passenger seat so i can still fit the roof, subwoofer is in the center well.
