nitrous questions...

IM new to the nitrous world and have been reading up on everything i can possibly think of before i make the huge decision to get nitrous. One thing i really need to know is what guages will i need? Im NA right now but i want to go ahead and prep the car with the recommended guages BEFORE i absolutely need them. From what ive learned so far...it seems that ill need an A/F guage, Nitrous pressure guage, and im not sure what the 3rd one NEEDS to be. whether it should be fuel or oil pressure, or tranny temp (i am auto tranny). anyway...i guess ill keep this as short as i can. Also which nitrous kit would you recommend..NX seems to be the "weapon of choice" around the .org..although ive looked into a ZEX kit. Just let me know what you guys think. Thanks in advance!!

I would get EGT, Fuel pressure, Nitrous pressure gauges

May want to consider a VB Mod and tranny cooler for the tranny

You'll want to have (at least) a bottle mounted nitrous pressure gauge. For a dry kit fuel pressure is a must, and it's also a good idea on a wet kit. IMHO you'd be better served saving your money on both the A/F and EGT gauge and doing some dyno tuning as neither gauge is truly indicative of exactly what's going on inside the engine. If you want real accuracy a wideband O2 is the only way to go.

The main reason I bought a dry kit is so I can spray in addition to a SC/turbo. Plan ahead and purchase accordingly.
