Do I have everything I need?

I am about to go pick up my kit today. I am very excited about seeing just how much different the car will feel on the bottle. This is everything I ordered let me know if you guys see anything else I may need to purchase so that I don't blow myself up.


1 - Zex #82021 "55-75 Wet Kit"

1- Autometer Nitrous Pressure guage

1- Autometer Air Fuel Guage

I am looking for a "slightly used" Fuel Pressure Guage to match (Autometer Ultra lite)

That a/f guage is useless. Take it back if you can.
A window switch you should get too.


Instead of useing the fuel from the gas tank you could get a
1gal fuel cell and fill it with race gas so when you spray you can
use a much higher shot without detonation on pump gas.
That gallon would probably last you a month at 5.00 a gallon that's the
smartest idea even if you run 87 that'll save you money and still give you a much
higher octane rating then what you get at the pumps.

...and get some slicks :P

The a/f is useless, and annoying, get the MSD window switch..

the fuel cell in my opinion would only be useful if he were planning on running 100 shot or more, even then i spray 125 on 91, but race gas is a good way to prevent detenation, just not a necessity.

slicks, bottle heater

BTW nice times on your 1/4...

Ok so I guess Ill return the A/F guage and get a bottle warmer. My firend has a A/F gauge and you guys are right it is very annoying. Sorry about my nitrous noobyness, but i am guessing a window switch initiates the nitrous only inside of a certain "window" of RPMS?

i would look into a purge kit as well and possibly a remote bottle opener, but its your call, just some more nitrous goodies..
860 Performance Billet Bottle heater kit at http://www.dynotunenitrous.com is a great bottle heater. Its what i have and i like it a lot.

Possibly if you want to spray more just get a walbro 190 FP and an adjustable FPR and run 100 to 125 shot...

Yeah after the heater, a purge kit is definatly next. Do I not need larger injectors to spray a 100-125 shot? or is that only with a dry shot since with the wet extra fuel is being sprayed with the N02?

I have already upgraded the clutch...I went with an XTD Stage 3 (good for 450 bhp) It takes a little getting used to the feel, but passengers can't tell from stock anymore.

good clutch upgrade? depends what you want to use, i would say exedy's are a great clutch, but 125 shot was a lot to handle for my exedy stage one... my other friend has a stock clutch and sprayed 125 a lot, 150 a couple of times even 175 once on it and its still fine...

you can spray up 125 with out injectors, yes...

No problemo. Sounds like you got a good portion done. Running the nitrous line isn't too bad. I do wanna ride.

I'll be in Charleston this coming weekend.
