Default Spraying Truck.. Got Q's..

I have aquired all the parts to build myself a custom dry kit. I plan on spraying a 100 shot but I have a few questions....

1.)Bottle mounting options:
Does the bottle have to be at a certain angle? I have stereo equipment behind both of my seats so that is not an option unless I either mount it at a 80-90* angle or completely redo my sub enclosures. I can mount it in the bed but I do not currently have a bed cover I also want to be able to turn it on if the need arises.(cant afford a remote opener right now). Therefore I need some acceptable angles which the 10 lb bottle can be mounted to further explore my mounting possibilities.

2.)Nozzle placement:
I have a K&N genII intake so I need to know the best place to insert the nozzle into my filter to get the best power without freezing my MAFS. Should I use a 90* nozzle and enter the filter through the mesh/gause or use a straight nozzle and go through the metal endcap of the filter? If I go with the 90*, how far from the MASF should I place it? I just dont want to freeze my meter or loose too much N2O spraying out of the filter.

The bottle has a siphon tube in it which angles to the bottom edge of the bottle. All you really need is a 10-15* angle for the siphon to work.

If you were looking at the bottle in such a fashion so as to have the valve closest to you and the flat bottom futherst away and so that the valve handle faces up and the valve opening faces down, the siphon tube would extend downward toward the bottom most edge where the cylinder side walls meet the base circle.

I would just use a straight nozzle through the end.

Therefore I "could" mount the bottle straight up if I need to then. You just would not want lay it flat on it's side. If I mounted it straight up I just would not get it down to the last drop without it sputtering.

I also perfer putting the nozzle in the end of the filter so that I would not have to worry about it blowing out. You dont think I would lose much out of the filter this way?

You can remove the siphon tube and mount the bottle upside down if you feel like drilling the cab to mount the bottle brackets. This is how we do it on the bikes. I am not sure if you have enough room to do it though.
