Most run the line down the passenger side and thru the gromment in the firewall located beneth the battery.

I used this for most of my install

If its a wet kit you should not have to upgrade the injectors. If its a dry kit you may want to consider upgrading the injectors (your probably OK but each car may be a bit different based on the installation or kit).

I was running 427 rwhp without nitrous and my stock injector cycle was at 98%. With a 100 shot I had a good chance of running lean. I have a set of 36 lbs Bosch injectors that have only seen dyno time. pm me if your interested.

once the battery is removed you have tons of room to snake wiring or the nitrous feed line through the firewall. might as well throw your relay / window switch in the battery area, as its right there and easy to work with. run your feed line under the door kick panel moulding, and into the trunk.

I'm running NX Wet kit. I was running a 150 shot but moved to an undisclosed number currently.

I have SVO 30# injectors and the duty cycle is around 70%. I also run a KB Boost-a-pump to increase fuel pressure are WOT.

I'm 467 NA and no idea what is is with the 150 shot. I guess 150 over that.

Here is a link to my install over on ls1tech.com

C5 Z06 NX 150 Wet kit install
