I can see it now, pulling away from a stop with car in front, reaching over to the glove box. Vrooom! Bang!

Better put a master on/off switch inline somewhere.

Don't forget to hook up a gas mask to your nitrous line...to help you laugh off the various Hayabusas, Ducatis, and Lambos you're going to smoke. And have it drop down from the visor for that modern jet airline look.

4 separate jets located between the IAT and the head will work much better. If you blast the IAT with NOS it will cause the ECU to go into cold mode and pull a bunch of timing and drown it with fuel thus neutralizing the effect of the NOS. It will be easier to control also.

I'd love to see a Lexan engine cover on my Smart. And Lexan windows so that I'm "bulletproof" and some Kevlar panels.
