General Rule of thumb 2° pulled for every 50 HP.

Here is an install done by HotRod that puts the bottle where you want it.

Do a search and you will find post on what other members did for their installs.

On the size hits your talking about, zero timing needs to be pulled, unless you have added timing through a tune. with that said, some just go with what Beer suggested.
Line (and wiring) is usually ran through interior behind and under plastic covers, then through the rubber plug under your battery (threw firewall).
Check my web pics for bottle install locations, and there is a pic in my links section of a sidways bottle in the spare well. also, many install links in links.

Some have done 700+ on stock bottom, but most say 550/600 max, and that's with a perfect tune.
