Default Going with NX, what is everything I'll need to be safe?

Going to get the 50-75-100-150 wet adjustable kit from NX. What are all the accesories I'll need to be safe, and make sure everything is in working order? I want to use a 125 shot as well, would it be possible? I'm just curious as to what is everything I'll need, like bottle warmers..etc...

colder plugs (ngk tr6's), wot, window, and fuel pressure switch. It is also good to replace the fuel pump with a upgraded one.

All of those safety mods. are great, but don't forget about the bottle warmer. Call Nitro Dave, it's p# 010130. It's the lates in bottle heaters... Where do you live. I actually do custom installs.. Good luck...!!!

Ok:

Plugs, NGK TR-6 @ .038" gap

FPSS set for 55psi

Window Switch set lowest spray and highest spray rpm e.g. 3000 on - 6500 off

NHRA Blowoff Fitting and Tube- The burst disc that comes with most kits is not NHRA legal, and if it were my call, kits wouldnt be sold w/o the NHRA legal pressure fitting. If the disc pops your interior is filled with a thick, cold, cloud of Nitrous Oxide gas...whereas if it pops with an approved valve and tube its vented to the atmosphere.

FILTER- Nitrous filter is a low cost insurance purchase against getting debris stuck in the solenoids holding them open.
Automatic Bottle Heater- set for Systems recommended pressure vs jetting, most recommend around 950psi for their jet charts.

Fuel Pump is recommended as well, Walbro 340GSS, or Racetronix setup, although some run a BAP.

Rail mounted FPR would also be considered a safety purchase or insurance item. Maintains the fuel pressure better then the rear mounted stock one, reducing the lean spikes which means less chance of *KABOOM*

Lastly on the safety list is, some sort of Tuning/Scanning means. I prefer HPTuners, but EFILive w. Flashscan works great also.

Good luck.

Plugs. dont forget all the "small" stuff. wire loom, wire, fuses, all different types of connections. you dont really need the bottle opener but its cool to have.

I just bought a TNT F1 kit for my car. What fuel pump should I look into getting, and do you guys think I should get my car dynotuned immediately upon putting the nitrous on?

Not immediately no, but before you go spraying you should know the condition of your cars tune, and how it is doing, only a recommendation though. Fuel pump, racetronix has a single or dual intank setup, with a hotwire kit!

I will be buying that. I will have my tune looked at etc. It comes with:

Fuel and Nitrous solenoid with mounting bracket
All fuel and nitrous lines
LT1 Plate with nozzles
Jets for 75/100/150 shots
10Lb bottle
Micro WOT switch, arming switch
TNT Pro Purge kit with mounting bracket, and additional lines and fittings, and a momentary switch for the purge
Zex bottle heater

With what the kit comes with, I will def. need a window RPM activated switch, and a FPSS correct? Is the micro WOT switch to activate it? What exactly is an arming switch?
