First nitrous run tonight

Well I bought a new NOS 5151 kit off of one of my cascade crew brothers and installed it. I ran it for the first time tonight jetted for the 100 horse shot. Man was that a kick in the pants. Had a big old grin. She is in the garage cooling down. I am going to put in the jets for the 150 shot.

Everything ran great. No problems. I wanted to say thank you to all that have posted good and bad experiences with nitrous in the past. The search function is your friend and I took a lot of the advice to heart.

I will try to get to the track within the next month and post the actual results but the butt dyno says

There have been a lot of posts about the main nitrous feed line length being too short in the 5151 kit. FWIW, I mounted my bottle in the spare tire compartment and ran the nitrous line inside the car and then into the engine compartment through the fender. It worked out great.

Good idea on the mounting spot, but what if you get hit in the side?

Dreeew,
I wasn't really going for a top speed but if you care I did go over the century mark a few times. It was the first time that I had tried the system out and wanted to make sure the everything worked correctly. I put in the jets for a 150 shot now but it has been raining and I haven't tried it out yet.

Bob,
I'll let you know if I get hit in the side. Thanks for your concern.

My guess to what happens is as follows: If the bottle is open, the feed line could rupture and he will lose a perfectly good bottle of nitrous. And other situation is that the bottle gets a puncture and again he loses a perfectly good bottle of nitrous.

Thanks Omega. The question was interesting. What happens if you get hit in <insert location of bottle here>?

Anyway, fwiw, tested out the 150 shot this last weekend with no problems and an even bigger grin factor.

Later,
