i couldn't find another way to mount it unfortunately, there's not a whole lot to bolt to back there

You should have got some plywood and cut a small sheet to mount the bottle to. I have done this in numerous cars and it holds up very nicely, and allows you to run the bottle the correct direction. And also, if you are careful you can go through th ecarpet and make it look cleaner too.

Last suggestion i have is about the mounting location for the switch. Personally I think the easiest mounting place for the switch is next to the e-brake in one of the plus pieces. It is so easy to shift into second and go straight to the switch without any thought.

Anyways, it looks nice, really clean install and nice engine bay man. Enjoy it, I know i loved mine

please tell me home boy did NOT say that single foggers will cause "POOLING" in your manifold.................

gee if you drop a gallon of water in your intake the motor seems to suck it right up, i dont think you will have an issue with particulated nitrous streams. thats an old mustang theory because of the zig zag manifold, i have been using nitrous for over 10 years and have never had a single problem out of it, other than kit maintenance

you just need to turn the bottle in the mounting brackets so that the pick up tube is faced the right way so during acceleration it will be in the right place to pick up the nitrous.
