i bet that motor loves that nitrous dont blow it sky high man...... as for wires, just tuck them behind panels and run them in the fenders...... as for the switch, maybe find a place to mount it in the senter console area???? maybe in the glove box or the arm rest?

Ash tray, under the arm rest, or what I think would be unique: cruise control buttons!

Oh and if you need a digital readout, just toss that old clock and put it there!

No it draws from the fuel line so that there is a mixed spray of nitrous and fuel into the intake, that is the definition of a wet kit.

A dry kit is just nitrous and you dont need to tap the fuel line.

put the coil of a one-make relay in-line with the red/white wire on the harness of your hazard light switch. and put the switch of the relay in line with the nitrous system wires. That way your nitrous system will come on when you hit your hazard lights and floor it. Makes sense, since a nitrous-ed car is certainly hazardous, if you know what i mean.

I think it would be neat though to have one of those key switches you'd find on a 1999 Toyota Tacoma pickup, for the passenger airbag enable/disable. That way you turn the key, and on comes your nitrous. Plus it'd be a toyota key, so you would be able to have a key specifically for your nitrous. Just find a place to stick the key cylinder into your dash (if you aren't afraid of making permanent modifications to your dash, then you should be able to find a good mounting spot) and you're set.

You can drop the panel beneath the steering wheel that covers all your electronic stuff (ie: stock alarm brain, fuse box) and mount a switch on the upper lip of the panel. A door bell buttom fits perfectly on that lip, will not be hit by mistake, and is otherwise invisable.

No, but my tires were, lol. I let it bounce off of the rev limiter for a couple of seconds so that my car could catch up with my engine.

Please note, this is at 5500 ft. above sea level, I have roughly 350-400lbs of stereo equipment in the trunk, and I had one passenger (camera man).

How are they during the almost-dark-but-not-yet hour or so, when the white faces still look whitish, and your numbers are lit up too?

I might of shifted a little bit late in 3rd, but i assure you that my car pulls hard all the way to 7k. The power may drop off at 6500 in your car but it doesn't in mine.

another member is going to probably sell me his 125mph set once he upgrades to a 145mph set. I'm thinking though that i'm going to keep my green glow (yours looks like white glow) slipcovers on the illumination bulbs, so my numbers will light up green.

I was talking about what it looks like when it's starting to get dark. I knew they got mostly dark at night (though I didn't know how dark), but I've seen some Dodge vehicles with red-glow white faces, and when they come by where I work (i work at a fast food place, and want to see the building explode, forreal) sometimes they look like maybe eye-straining when it's not fully dark but the lights are on. Maybe i have a bad angle looking in from outside the car. That's part of the reason I want colored glow, so it will not be white on white ever. Am I just overthinking it?

Well,at dusk,they look white like daytime,with a little brighter numbers...

Truthfully,i like my wifes black gxe gauges better for night driving,but dislike them in the daylight..

maybe if you got them dusted from true white do maybe a 25% gray, so they were darker at night for you. But the ideal would be some way of using an LCD to blacken over everything but the numbers, so it'd be truly black except where the numbers are.

I don't think they are too dark,i just like the gxe's green color better.,but meh,it's just not that important to me..
