Just a small 100 shot. Nothing major.

THAT WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT
You may have to change your name to "I 8 EVERYTHING"
now Judd, CONGRATS

Every Step by Step Pic of my Install is in my Gallery if you need it
https://www.f150online.com/galleries....cfm?gnum=1385

Some mount the Bottle in the Cab behind the seat, "sideways"
by removing the tool box (I prefer the standard tilt and direction)
I also wanted it to be quickly and easily removable, so I still have
full use of the 4ft x 8ft bed

This is what I came up with
Went to Home Depot and found Steel 1/4-20 inserts,
I drilled 4 proper sized holes in the floor, and used "liquid steel" to hold them in

Now I can carry the Bottle, Brackets, and Bottle Warmer out in
one assy, simple put 4 bolts in, and hook up my two wires, using
male by female spade connectors, and the Nitrous Line, and I'm fully functional within a minute or so.
When it's not in use, everything tucks away behind the wheel well, out of the path of the bed.
You can see what I mean here, but those are the first ugly brackets I made

Gator made me these Brackets (THANKS PAL) and it's what I use now. (Notice we changed the angle even more)


Of course the easiest is further up front in the bed where you simply remove the rubber plug in the bed thats already there,
but I can reach in and turn on and off the bottle my way by simply opening the tail gate (of course you can use an electric bottle opener too and put it anywhere) The main thing is mounting those brackets they give you "to something else", "then mount that to the floor". If you look at those brackets, it's dam near impossible to get to the bolts to take the brackets in and out.

GO TWO ZONES COLDER PLUG, I prefer Denso IT-22's gapped @ .038, or you can use NGK BRE-7's (is it ?)

BEST OF LUCK BRO AND CONGRATS

CONGRATS!!

Kinda funny, people can spend thousands of dollars on performance mods, and not see gains that a little purple bottle can do for a fraction of the price.

I guess I been using the wrong bottle

Right on...

That should net you 11's for sure as long as the track hooks like it did a few weeks ago..

Watch out though, its addicting stuff, soon enough you'll be reaching for the larger jets

denny0328: I dynoed a 411 RWHP and 503 RWTQ SAE with my current setup. With a 75 shot I hope to be close to the 500-600 club. I'll be heading south very soon for a nitrous tune, I'll keep you posted.

Dale, hows the truck? Let me know when you plan on another Bakersfield trip.

I want to know when your going to install some of that gay colored hardware under the hood of the Cobra. Mine could use some of that feminization treatment too, but I'm waiting on you dammit. I'm not coming out of the closet until you do.
