383 wet nitrous kit

Where do you keep the bottle? For some reason I don't want it to be in the bed of the truck, but I live in Texas and i'm worried about keeping it inside the truck.

Inside or out, make sure you have a new burst disk. Cheap insurance. How big a bottle do you plan to run?

Yea, the burst disk would be installed either way. I've seen what happens when the bottle explodes! Not pretty.

Probably the standard 10lb bottle. It's a single cab, though, and I don't think it would fit behind the seat?

They do sell the incognito kit and the sneak pete kit but I haven't seen many reviews on them?

If its in the cabin legally your supposed to have a blow down tube that vents it outside if it over pressurizes. That rarely happens with street vehicles that never get an NHRA tech-inspection but if you do mount it in the cab its a cheap and easy thing to do

It would probably fit behind the seat if you took out the tools. You can also mount it under the bed if you want to be less obvious.

LOL just a bad angle in the picture then! I was joking anyways lol.

How did you wire that nitrous shut off switch? Where do you keep the bottle? For some reason I don't want it to be in the bed of the truck, but I live in Texas and i'm worried about keeping it inside the truck.

I have the pressure switch wired so if fuel pressure drops below 6psi the nitrous cant activate.
My bottle is in the bed but my truck stays in the garage. When I didn't have a garage I just took it in & out when temps outside got real hot, You just have to Reinstall bottle, purge it , start your burnouts in under 5 minutes or less, otherwise I kept it covered with a blanket.

Don't forget that you should have your bottle hydrostatic tested every five years. In essence, it gets filled with water, pressurized to 150% of its rating, and the technician taps it with a hammer around every weld and fitting. If it's rusting inside, it'll crack, spew some water out, and it gets crap-canned on the spot. Your air compressors in your shop should be getting the same inspection. Come to think of it, I probably ought to make a public service message in the garage thread.
