Default NX 150 shot question

I'm in the mix of a NX 150 shot and curious to know what modifications need to be done for reliability and for saftey...already have a aftermarket fuel pump installed.

Timing issues with a 150 spray??
Bigger injectors??

i have used a 150 shot for quite a longtime,no tune prior,tr55 gapped at .032 or tr6s gapped at .035,i had the stock GM fuel pump....personally i would upgrade to 32lb inj but not a MUST have. i do recommend a window switch and a low fuel pressure switch.......

No tuning or having to retard the timing then huh?? Why have I heard so many different folks say you have to get the timing in check with anything 150 and above? And what if the car is running lean after the install?? Wouldn't it be important to make sure it was running right?

From what I have been told by the guys at Nitro Outlet you have to retard the timing with a 150 spray and having it tuned is a must to make sure the car isn't running lean. Just what I've been told...

get a intank pump. No need for injectors. Get a window switch, colder plugs, fuel pressure safety switch, etc. All the safety items.
