Well since you don't have a sig listing your mods (if any), it's hard for us to give any advice. You also didn't tell us how big you went. Another helpful tidbit is what you plan on doing in the near future, so we can tell you things to get now that'll save another upgrade later.
I'm no NOS guy but I'd say change your cap and rotor as well as get a bigger fuel pump (may as well change the fuel filter too), some injectors probably wouldn't hurt if it's a higher mileage motor (Red Top FORD 30#s come on the 4.0 V6s). Retard box wouldn't be too bad of an investment either.
Bare minimum? I'd say the fuel pump.

We need to know a few things about the car before we can really help you. How big of shot do you plan to spray? Is the car an auto or stick? What other mods do you have? Have you checked on getting a FPSS and or window switch?
Alright, it is a 125 wet kit. I got bolt ons(long tube headers, y pipe, ram air, ported heads, mild cam(not sure which one, but it came with the car, tb)

Thats when you use the bottle heater to adjust your pressure, and using the gauge you can stay in the optimum pressure range for your kit, getting the most hp out of the system. Its not that the gauge itself is a performance adder, its the information it gives and what you do with it.
To the OP, thanks for posting.
This is on my list for my future NX KIT.........Remote electronic bottle opener,NX accessory power switches,nozzles,solenoids ,WOT switch w/bracket,blow down tube,automatic bottle heater ,pressure gauge, purge kit,10 lb bottle,Dual gauge pillar,NGK's...
Anything else that would be needed for safety?
Thanks guys
