Here is the digital NOS pressure gauge I choose (but LED in RED so I can see it in the sun):

Here are all the parts that came with the gauge and where the gauge's sending unit mounts:

Here is what the finished product looks like. I wired in a switch to turn the gauge on and off at my will (I have since removed this switch and wired it directly to the fuse panel 12v switched). Also a shoot of the gauge lit by the flash and still readable, as well as a night shot to get an idea:

Here is the Raptor Performance LED warning/activation light, which I have used to activate whenever my NOS setup is activated. Top photo is the product from Raptor Performance , the middle photos are where I have choose to mount it (next to the shift light), and finally the bottom photos are it activated:

Here is the current dash setup, notice all the foglight switches. One is nitrous master on and the other is bottle heater on. Both the nitrous master on and the bottle heater on have Raptor Performance activation lights wired into them as well as lighting the factory activation light:

Heres what all this made:

dnm12's 1998 Chevrolet Camaro

 

The NHRA Blow down fitting is a requirement in order to use juice on the track. I bought this blow down fitting from Harris Speed Works, it installs on the bottle. Soon enough I will get the -AN line that route the gas out of the cockpit in a worst case scenario. Below photo is what came in the bottle:

Here is the -8AN blow down NOS line 11 feet of it with and with out the blow down fitting in the photos. The bottom photo is of the 90° -8AN fitting:

Then I had to run the blow down line through the cockpit and out the cockpit:

The new bottle mount which I love in comparison to the old one, I still have to mount it though:

Shortly after install I ran into a missing issue here was the problem (cracked spark plug). The top photos are me getting to the problem the bottom three are the plug itself and its replacements, I had to replace the spark plug wires as well (MSD):

Shortly after the above I went out to test and make sure everything was alright, and proceeded to blow apart my lame exhaust gaskets:

So I bought new ones:

Here's a photo well I was working on the car:

A little add on, basically a wing nut so I don't have to have a wrench to undo NOS lines. Had to modify it a little and finally shots of it on the -AN line:

I also decided that I needed to replace the purge line and orient it so that it would spray straight up, unobstructed (of course I may not need this!):

During all of this I decided to replace my transmission fluid with Royal Purple ATF, instead of the Redline or Valvoline I had in there before:
