im not too worried about the dealer seeing it cuz i used to work there and they wont say anything. very small dealership. more of a used car lot actually.

once the service manager had me punch a cat out on a customer car!!!

not too woried about water injection!

Do you have part numbers and where you got the nozzles? I 'm not sure if my NOS nozzle last too long if I use it often. It appears to be billet steel, black anodized, with copper fittings to screw the lines on to which helps prevent leaks of the 2,000 psi Nitrous oxide. I have never had one fail. There are removable brass jets. I think the one I will use is .032.

I plan on using mine in an occasional trip to the drag strip. I pull a travel trailer every once in a while but the truck doesn't need any help for that.

Great! If the mixture erodes any of it, it will be the brass jets. Probably not at 60 PSI

I did that kind of racing a Looooong time ago '69-'75 in Midland. I would usually forget which side of the cone and direction I was supposed to go. I had a '67 big block Camero with open headers. I smoked the rubber and made noise. I never came close to winning but the crowd loved the show!
We had a new car dealership, Fiat, Volvo, Lotus, Saab. The Lotus Europa was good and also the Saabs. We had fun!

Yep - Road Course on the Texas Motor SPeedway in a couple of weeks should be more fun - I can tell the difference between concrete and grass !!!!!

1500 cones on a striped parking lot is a lot to pick up at speed...
I was feeling bad until I started looking at the final postings...
MANY DNF's for going off course... so I guess it was a common occurance...

I would drive sometimes in the grass at Kennedale when I was having problems with giant wheel stands. Hard to steer with the front tires off the ground. Hard to back out with all the money changing hands in the stands!
