Instal it under the seat, or make a short glovebox. Your line will have to run under the carpet, into the heater unit, which becomes non-functional. Modify the heated carb base plate so that the "water" fitting on one side is a dead end, and the other is a nitrous jet into the log. Use your heater fan control to switch the nitrous for a total "sleeper".

if your currently using the big (scuba looking) bottle the ultra small "sneaky pete" bottles can be linked togetter with a small manifold to get the desired bottel volume and can be hidden any where.
 
Lay on the floor and look up under the dash, there's usually a ton of room in there. Maybe you could find one of those AC units that mounts on the tranny hump, and gut it to stick it inside.

Be creative, it'll pay off.

As to the wiring, you can get a marine ignition switch (simple, only 2 connections) and put it in an inconspicous location to lock out the system. I had a small system in my wife's 84 regal once. The switch was mounted in the cig lighter hole and with the key removed was almost invisible in plain sight. With the key "armed" an indicator light would come on in the dash and a relay under the hood would re-route the horn wire to the nitrous solenoids. Simple, effective and stealthy. A bit hard to steer in corners under power though.

I've also heard of people fixing the foot switch for the High/Low beams to be momentary contact. This doesn't work as well with stick shifts.

If you want it out of sight but don't need it to bear close scrutiny you can mount it in the rear floor board and throw a bunch of trash over it. Or cut the bottom out of a tool box and set that over the top of it.
 
Inline6merc, which drag strip do you run at?I'm a certified tech for one of the tracks here in Phoenix and the bottle can be mounted in the trunk or drivers compartment.With the bottle mounted in the drivers compartment you need to have a vent tube installed, in the trunk you don't but its one of the things thats a good idea safety wise anyway.
 
just watch Fast and the Furious the first one and run Vin Diesel's setup in the Rx 7 that i believe is a few sneaky pete setups IIRC and you couldn't even tell it was there


addo i love your idea thats totally a sleeper

just my 2 cents.. but that tech guys an idiot.. unless your car is running like 7's or something NHRA rules says the trunk is fine.
 
if you wanted to go all out you could mount the bottle in the oil pan and then have holes drilled in the block that feed it to the intake runners in the head and one of your sensors could be easily modified to run the wires thru and to an internal solenoid.
would be a bitch though to have todrop the pan after a day at the track or pulls to change a NOX bottle
