Why is it that when people show "how" they've mounted their bottle that they just show the bottle sitting there and not how it's mounted. I've got mine done, but everytime I did a search no one took pics of the brackets they used. Pictures of the brackets would be a lot more helpful.

Anyway, looks good. Oh, and the wiring couldn't get much more simple once you understand it.

Yeah your right about mounted pictures, I did a search and didnt find anything either but from one of the pictures I seen I found that the guy mounted the brackets on the side of the car instead of resting on the bottom. I used the standard NX brackets that come with the kit and just held the bottle where I wanted it and made some marks, drill them out and bolted it on. I was only able to get 3 bolts on but the bottle is secure and doesnt move so im happy.

I should have thought about that and taken pictures of the mounted brakcets, when I take the bottle off to have it filled I'll take some pictures of the mounts just sitting there.

Be careful with that nitrous...157 on the ticker of a stock 305 is not exactly a motor for nitrous. Hope its not your DD.

well, leaning it out for one...if will burn holes in your pistons, or break them apart. You probably want to run some bigger injectors...when you hit the nitrous, the computor is supposed to fatten it up. If your o2 sensor or some other efi problem exists, your motor will be toast. Make sure your fuel system is working 100% properly.

How in the world are bigger injectors going to help when he's spraying a wet kit? Please enlighten me.

I have my NX bottle mounted in the same location but I only used the 1 "short" bracket and put it almost near the middle of the bottle. Bottle doesn't move.

I see 3 or 4 solenoids. If hes running a dry kit, bigger injectors are a must. If hes running a wet kit, which must be what he is, it is still not a bad idea, bigger injectors could give you a bit of a safety cushon in case of a leaning out. Please roll your eyes somewhere else.

Just finished my plumbing today What an expensive pain...350 in fittings and fuel line alone... NHRA mandates no more than 12" of rubber hose.
