Default Nitrous kit with diablo tune?

I plan to buy the NX kit and run a conservative 50hp jet. Now what I was concerned with is im guessing the diablo tune I have advanced the timing. From what I understand advanced timing and nitrous don't go well. Should I be concerned? Also the storage is important to me. Does anyone have tips on mounting the bottle so the targa top fits and the bottle can be removed easy if need be.

I have alot of small items i keep in there that might be an option. I was considering getting a 5lb bottle rather than the 10lb it comes with.

Check with Ben at WeaponX. I believe he has some monster bottles in the back of his but a billet bracket that still allows the top to be stored.

I have dual 12lb carbon bottles on a billet bracket and my hatch cover fits right over it. Let me know if you want a quote on a full nitrous setup
