Nitrous Bottle Mounting Angle? Prob?
Guys,
I am running the NXL kit. I have my bottle mounted as shown, parallel to the rear axle back in the rear compartment. The bottle has a 10 degree angle from left to right. Has anyone had problems mounting the bottle this way? I am beginning to think this may be why my nitrous is acting up. It kicks in good initially and pulls strong, but feels like I am getting half power through the rest of the run. My times reflect this. If you have your bottle mounted this way what angle are you running? If not what is the optimal way to mount the bottle?
Thanks
Chris

I had this same problem until I was told to open the bottle and check the tube that goes inside the bottle. I had it sticking up so when the bottle was getting empty, I was not getting enough Nos on the line.
