nitrous + engine heat??

well when i got my nitrous kit it only came with a 15' main nitrous feed line well my bottle is in my back seat so i had a about 6' extra and i just looped it behind the wiper cowl can the heat from the engine do anything to the nitrous i know it's not flamable but what about warm nitrous going into the motor?

I think it will help you if anything. Warm nitrous = more pressure, hense the reason why people get bottle warmers that get to like 100000 degrees to get their bottle to 900 psi I have some extra line under the hood also, it wont hurt anything.

The system pressure is set by the bottle pressure. Adding heat in the line runs the risk of vaporizing the nitrous in the line, causing a bubble that will impede nitrous flow, causing you to run pig rich. You want the line to be all liquid nitrous. Put the "loops" in the back seat, not in the engine compartment.
