^Very nice! And I see what you're going for there, stealthy. How about switch out the electrical wire covering for some vacuum line to make it look factory.
Is that nozzle threaded in or press-fit? I've not run the bottle before so I'm not sure of the pressures released by the nozzle; but shouldn't there be a bung welded into the pipe for absolute security that the nozzle stays put during operation?
Lastly, are there any fail-safes? WOT trigger? Is it simply activated by your red button there?

the time slip is from you running the 75 shot or the 55 shot? and running the octane booster would that actually give any benefit as the ECU will adjust for the timing automatically based off of its readings? not sure if our ECU will advance timing past normal detonation standard of 91 octane.

^I'm sure he was adding it to help with any possible detonation issues. But the thing with octane boosters is that a FULL bottle will only likely help raise the octane rating by a quarter of a point (read online a WHILE ago...not such if they're not potent now). You would be better off just finding a ethanol-free "supreme/super" octane fuel and paying the .20/.30 more per gallon.

I was contemplating in tapping directing behind the manifold so it wouldn't be visible at all but I'm unsure if it will upset the spraying pattern to each runner.The nozzle is tapped and threaded into the intake tube along with some Teflon and thread locker to ensure it from not moving.
My thumb is my fail safe lol

From my knowledge the ECU does adjust timing to compensate for the nitrous, but I just play it safe and dump the octane booster. I'm going to mix a gallon of 109 unleaded see if a notice a difference which I very much doubt.

The time slip is with the 75 jet, but was my very first all out pass. I'm sure if I stall it a bit higher I'll be able to bring down the times. When I ran the 8.190 with the 55 shot I had my spare tires up front which is less weight, rotating mass, and drag, so I'm sure that came into play with my ET and MPH

I'll be running Friday again at a slightly slower track but with my 18s on all seasons. Hopefully the weather stays cool I could hit 8.7, Consistently.

I'm surprised you guys ignored 'lexusis305's comment about adding a T to the fuel line so you can run a wet shot and push up the nitrous without leaning out. He's a Lexus tech out in Florida, he knows what he's talking about. He ran a 125 shot safely on an IS250. Without leaning it out or giving it issues. I'm actually getting ready to do just that, after I throw on the very rare and dyno proven Mazzuri's headers. Hoping to have the fastest IS250 on the 1/4. We'll see.

Gotcha, cool no worries. I just figure it would probably help out more if you guys had any technical questions. The concern here is leaning out on a high shot right? I'm thinking before I do anything I want to run it on a Dyno with all the readings on consecutive runs to see if I'm stressing any component or system. And at least have several safeties to keep me aware as I'm spraying.

For you ppl that have nitrous I was wondering if y'all have problems with the trans not shifting if you don't let out of the gas for a split sec. I have a zex wet kit on a 65 shot and if I don't let off it will hit the rev limiter and not shift till I let off a little.
