It would break right near the ferrul closest to the solenoid. I would snip off the broken piece and put a new ferrul on, but it would just burst again on the next run.
Switching to braided steel has allows it to work flawlessly. They should come from JMS with a braided steel line.
Ever try the .63 jet?

How Long of a piece Did you order of the -4 ?

I use a clip to secure the front of the bag to a metal support under the rear dash. It seams to work well holding the bag/bottle in place when in use.
It easily unclips when I want to remove it from the trunk.

Charlie with the 100 shot did u add any race gas for the track?
No. Just 93 so far.

I too have the JMS dry N2O kit.
I did the install myself. It went in fairly easily in about 2-3 hours.
I had the same problem as you with the plastic nitrous line breaking every time I tried to use it. I was never able to complete a 1/4 mile run without it breaking. I eventually solved that problem by replacing the plastic line with a 4-an braided steel line from dynotunenitrous.com.
The JMS system has worked flawllessly ever since.

My best times with the 100-shot n20 system and a set of 305/45/18 MT drag radials are 11.6's @ 124mph. My 60' times are right at 2.0 seconds.
I'm sure I could improve both 60' and 1/4 times with shorter drag radials. These were free from a buddy of mine, but are 28.8" tall. They hook great but are effectively reducing my gear ratio. A set of 305/35/18's would effectively give me 9% shorter gearing. While I'm dreaming I'd also like to get a cirlce-d converter! I think those changes would be enough to get me into the 10's.
Circle D FTW! :)

That sucks. I've had no issues with the line, but I don't have the "bulk line". I have 1/4 inch plastic line. (truck air line) Think you'll have 3/16 line and 3/16 airline is used in dash in macks and internationals so "good" line is available. Also if you have a Truck Pro local to ya they will have "good" 3/16 line.

I found some good firestone red line should I get 1/4 or 3/16?
Yours most likely has 3/16 line but if you wanted 1/4 you'd need to change the fitting on the solenoid. I don't believe @ our level the size difference matters.

Anyone know which plugs work best on nitrous?
That down there.

NGK stock# 6510, which is LTR7IX-11
I got new ones my 1st set were gapped @ .050, new are .038 a difference you can see. :)

I have a question: What's the procedure for adding race gas in these split tanks anyway? Before I'd add the gas then run(Idle) the car for a minuet or 5 and by then the fuel in the line was "mixed". but with the split tank how long/far do ya need to run/drive it?

Sorry to go off topic, but I have some questions for you regarding your circle D torque converter. I'm considering going with this and/or 3.73 gears to try to get into the 10's with my JMS system.

How much did it cost to install?
How is it for daily driving?
Did your MPG change much?

I went "off topic" 1st. :)

It's been almost 2 years but I believe it was 4 or 5 hours for the converter install + fluid.

I have a 3600-3800 stall and it's really hardly noticeable, some say it's tune related but I doubt any of the reputable tuners who can tune your car would have any issue with getting the converter set. :)

It did drop some but not too bad(less than 1 mpg if I remember), but converter :rockon: is worth it if you plan on going to the track. :)

Its my wife car...its mounted on the drivers side. It's bolted into the trunk on bottle heater bracket. Its a pretty sick kit...I am highly impressed, this is coming from her husband that has a 600+ rwhp 10sec 5.0.

Any really good pics of how the bottle is installed? Did you guys have the shop fabricate a bottle mounting plate? I am almost done installing a custom Nitrous Outlet kit on my 2013 GT. I will be using a 15# nitrous bottle with a NANO 3000 kit. My car has the Shaker Pro stereo, so I will have to mount the bottles on the left side too. I have talked to Nitrous Outlet about fabricating a bottle mounting plate and they said they would look into it. So close, but yet so far away from completing this install. Hopefully it won't take too much longer.
