[QUOTE="sluggish94, post: 1482791, member: 25015"] I've been enjoying this car a lot lately. I drove to Los Angeles and then to Long Beach last month for an all Convertible Mustang cruise. Then I made a trip to Huntington Beach the following weekend for a sick car show/cruise that happens once a month. If you'd like to see a video that I put together of those events you can find them on my YouTube channel, High Density Network. What I see before I hop in every time. Freakin love it. [ATTACH=full]9622[/ATTACH] Anyways, this car just keeps getting better and better. I swapped the jets out from 31/16 to 35/17 which according to Nitrous Outlet's jet chart is a "50 shot". Wow, what a difference in the hit! Now it really feels like it's going somewhere in first and second. It still falls on it's face in third. I want to gear it. I also had to build a solid bracket for the nitrous bottle, not only to secure it a lot better but to also achieve a better mounting angle. A 15* degree angle is suggested when mounting the bottle horizontally. [ATTACH=full]9620[/ATTACH] It's two separate pieces, and each piece is made to mount to the factory seat holes. The rear piece has a stubby boxed section to achieve the angle I was looking for. [ATTACH=full]9621[/ATTACH] Total cost was $0. All scrap parts. I also wired up a bottle heater that I got for stupid cheap. It's basically just a heating element/heating blanket, nothing fancy about it at all. This thing works excellent and heats up way fast. I made a shoddy little plate to hold the switch in place. [ATTACH=full]9623[/ATTACH] Since I deleted the center console I had to do something about the wiring harness that runs inside of it. I ended up deleting a few pins on it and splicing in the bottle heater to the wires that operated the cigarette lighter.

[ATTACH=full]9625[/ATTACH] Next I need to drill a hole in the floor pan to mount the blow down tube properly.
