50-100hp dry and 50-150 wet.... If you are thinking of installing a kit on your car FIRST drop that chip....

Better yet, install two 15-pound bottles in the fenderwells, so it will cool the brake rotors. Afterwards, spray a 400-shot single stage directly through the spark plug holes. You'll run 10's no-time.

In all seriousness though, get at least a lid first.

Get a lid, some decent headers and Y pipe, good 3400-3600 stall, if auto, so your car could really appreciate a good 100 shot dry or 150 shot wet before you start breakin **** on your car.
Rule one- Make it breathe better first then add a good tune.
Oh....wait....don't forget some good stickies so you won't be slidin all over the place when you spray out of the hole.
Shortcuts for power eventually lead to the kiss of death on your engine, tranny or rear end. Do it right, its cheaper in the long run!

I would start at a 100 shot. If its a 6 speed car make shure you get a msd window switch to cut the nitrous off if you miss a shift.

Good advice. Also, like already advised, get at least a lid and full exhaust before you spray to help it breathe.

At least get LTs and a lid. And !chip. Everyone should get headers, exhaust, lid before they do anything. Car really comes alive when you let it breath

I have a MSD digital for sell. Its pointless to me though because your be shooting in first (meaning no traction) go with DynoTunes window switch it has first gear lockout! Unless u want to shoot in first, one is up for grabs here! I'll start at 100 or 125 shot (wet). A lid isnt a must to get! hell you can make it breath a lot by doing the free air mod! Kits are design for stock engines anyway! Not saying other mods wouldnt help, but focus on saftey equip. first! A $400 kit will easily set u back $1000 - $1500 fro all the other **** u goota buy.

MUST HAVES: (to me)
Window switch
FPSS
DynoTunes Shut off switch
Racetronix Fuel Pump
Heater

I wouldn't if I were you. You should really learn a little more about your car and engines in general before you do something silly like spit parts out of the bottom of your engine. I gather you don't have a lot of mechanical knowledge because I looked at the rest of your posts. Stick around and ask questions after you do a little research and then you will be armed with basic knowledge, rather than being made fun of because you asked a question that shows you have done no research at all.
