A little show....A little go....

This past week Mike Norris finished the install of my Nitrous Outlet n2o kit and I went ahead and installed the engine dress up kit my wife bought for me last Christmas. She had threatened to return it if I didn't install it soon.
While there is no way for a Nitro Dave plate to be hidden I asked Mike to make the install as discrete as possible and he did a great job. Solonoids under the FRCs, window switch and purge solonoids under the battery cover (yea I know, I need to find a MY one), switches in the ashtray with my line lock button and the remote Dynotune pressure gauge to the right of the steering wheel where the A/C sensor is. I also put my Raptor shift light up in the upper A pillar area and it is hardly noticeable either.
Overall I am very happy. On a VERY conservative tune with a 100 shot and 950 psi we got 512 rwhp and 520 rwtq. I am sure there is a good bit more there but we decided that it is much better to be conservative especially given our heat down here and what it can do to bottle pressures. Just need to get her out on the track soon and see what she will run.

Very slick!!! I like the placement of the line lock and the switches in the ash tray.

Re: A little show....A little go....

Did the switch panel come from the nitrous system vendor or from somewhere else? Thanks

Re: A little show....A little go....

Very slick install. Mike has always produced high quality installs and this is another low key install. Looks great.

Later ... Larry S. - Orlando also.

Re: A little show....A little go....

Thanks again folks! I wanted to keep the system as clean and discrete as possible while still using a plate system. The switch panel is from Nitrous Outlet. I already had the line lock hidden in the ashtray earlier and it all fit well.
Now if the rain will stop for a day or so I will try to get her out to the track and see if I can hook up some good times.

Very nice!

What shifter and knob do you have there? Looks like a good combo.

BTW, I'm located nearby, in DeLand.

Re: A little show....A little go....

Bob, The shifter is a C6 Z06 shifter. Nice feel, not notchy, slightly lower than the C5 shifter and has shorter throws. Not too pricy either.

Although I haven't had the bug to mod my Z, there's one improvement I'll seriously look into.
