I think another con would be heating the bottle or keeping it warm
71 demon stock stroke 440/indy ez-1 running 10.10 @ 132.14 mph in the 1/4 and 6.36 @ 107.46 mph in the 1/8 not in the same weekend but It did it then I sold it.
67 Belvedere that worked it's way in the 10's

For one thing... the bottle needs to be point in the proper direction... and from what you are saying I would think you are putting it in sideways which is wrong....JMO... since I'm not a nitrous guy

Bottles will work sideways if they are rotated the right way.
It will be more difficult to swap bottles, a track official may not be able to kill the bottle in case of an accident. Just a couple thoughts

I know they have a pickup tube inside and in most
cases laying on its side wasnt the best way to get
the max amount out of the bottle... the tube basically
goes to the bottom corner of the bottle... I have a
couple of kits and bottles and I know I would never
mount the bottle laying on its side

Unless its a 5lb bottle, I wouldn't.
Changing the bottle would be a complete pain. Go through all the effort of hiding it, only to spend 20 minutes under the dash at the track to swap the bottle out...
Also mounting weight high and up front...
If it is truly under the dash, not sure how easy it will be to turn it off, I would run a seperate 1/4 turn that you can access strapped in, just in case.
I mounted mine behind the seat, with a black bottle blanket you really have to look for it.

I don't have anything under the dash. no nothing. I can open the glove box door and get to it. It would be mounted sideways, and while it wouldn't be as easy as the trunk it could be done in 5-10 minutes. Also how is it easier to turn off in the trunk? I have a lock and key. Heat? I only run in nice weather and that area gets warm as I don't have firewall insolation. How hot does it need to be? I see tons of bottles in the car, even on the floor. A lot of guys here don't even use a blanket or heater. It would be sideways but I think I can make it work. It won't be used all the time, maybe once or twice a race weekend. Maybe more if I want to run the 6.50 1/8 mile index or 10.50 1/4 index. I'm only going to run a 100-150 shot.
Next motor will be badder, just having fun w/ this one. As I understand it it's an oxidizer and not flammable. It will have a full range of safety stuff, on/off, WOT switch and so on.
Somebody said pressure gauge, I can see it thru the glove box door, or just peak under the dash depending.

If you can't run those times without NOS you need another engine builder.

This engine is probably good for 10's but I'd have to swap out the 6-pack, go with more gear and convert. No thanks I DRIVE it. Also consider it's no a gutted out A-body. Anybody can make those fast. I'm guessing w/ the Cal-Trac & mono spring It should be around 11.0 w/o the bottle. I guess that's real slow.

So you say your only going to run it in nice weather. And it gets warm in that Firewall area.
That tanks highly pressurised and blow up with too much heat.
To be convinced not to do it, Google "Nitrous tank explosions" Take a look at some of the Multible images.

That`s for the cowl hood comment.........but seriously, that seems scarry to me having an explosive missle anywhere in the car but as stated guys have been doin it for years.
