Default finally decided to go with nitrous

Ok so im picking up a nitrous kit on friday for$ 150 from a friend. To me its a really good price for the 10lb bottle, heater, mounting brackets, all the hoses, pressure gauge, and nozzle. And an extra 75 for a walboro 255 fuel pump. What all else would I need? Im going to be getting a purge kit from jegs, I get a discount cause I work there, and I need to find an arm and purge switch

the fuel side of your wet kit seems to be missing



but on that note...I would need to know everything part wise you are getting for the dry kit to know if anything is missing.

A stock LT1 can handle more than 75 worth, a LOT of guys do 125-150. Easy to create a pile of scrap if you do something wrong though.

WOT Switch, RPM Activated Window Switch, and PSI safety switches would be a good idea. This coming from someone who just popped a head gasket on 150 wet kit with no pressure saftey switches
