Well I'm pretty much done with the hard work now all I have to do is wire up all this crap lol. Here is a pic of my stand alone fuel system. I'll have more pics over the next few days.

The fuel cell is a 4 gal rci unit and on the other side is a holley blue pump running to 6 an line down the left rear rail take a right to the front of the stock tank and the from the middle up through the tunnel on the passenger side. It comes out on the passenger side right above the heater motor and connects to a reg and then from there to the fuel solenoid. (more pics soon).

The nitrous bottle sits on a heated cradel with a pressure switch that keeps the bottle to with in 50 psi of what you set it at.

so what are you doing for "wiring" ? this is similar to my set-up.... sans i used a 2 gal cell, i also ran the "wiring" on a throttle switch along with the "button" just in case of a missed shift.

You should look into putting one of the switches on the clutch pedal. On the bottle, you will never react fast enough to keep the motor from over reving, unless you have a revlimiter. Say you shift at 6k, you only have a few revs left until it starts sling parts thru your block.
Steel, is it an optical illusion, or is the feed line for the fuel pump not at the very bottom

I have the window switch to cut of the nitrous at about 6200 when I shift at 5500. Is that what your talking about? I have th 6al and it has a rev limiter set at 6500.

ALso yeah its at the bottom. The pump is directly off the cell via an elbow and the line comes of the pump straight down.
 
with a NO2 managment unit you are a lot safer in case of missed shift..... bad things tend to happen when you hit the rev limiter on the juice.... so as long as your management system shut it down before the rev limiter... your good to go.
 
Yeah thats why the window switch will be set at 6000-6200 rpms and the 6al will be at 6500 or so. The window switch should shut it down before it hits the rev limiter. That way no nos is building up in the cylinders.
 
You guys are set, and safe then. I went to test the system once and scootched my butt in my seat to readjust when i tested the system. tapped the gas pedal when I was already holding it a 3k. I mean I barley tapped it. revved straight to 8k.
