Mine was around 650 OTD. You can put a nitrous bottle in the toolbox, thats where mine was on my Z71. You dont have to have a blown down tube like you do if you put it in the cab. Only thing you have to watch out for is in the summer the pressure gets pretty high, but it never got high enough to blow the release valve even sitting out in direct sun all day so...

I'd remove the bottle. No biggie.

honestly, I don't need a construction grade toolbox. I'm just going to store the stuff I keep in my backseat now (my tools, jack, etc). It sounds like the one birch has will fit the bill nicely for me. Also, I really like the fact that you don't need a blow down tube as I wasn't too hot about drilling a hole in my cab.

1slow, if i decide to install a wet kit, you think you could find time to help me with an install? I don't know a whole lot about nitrous systems and would definitely need a hand with the install. Prob wont be for a cpl months at least. ill supply plenty of beer and food.

lol. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing.
