Default Planning on spraying, am I good to go?

I have a 98 Z28 that is bone stock right now. I just ordered some Pacesetter LT's and ORY, as well as some BMR LCA's. I also just ordered some Katech rod bolts, as I'm told the rod bolts are a little weak in the LS1 motors. Plan on dropping the K-member and pan to change them as they specifically state in the instructions that they are one of the only rod bolts that don't require resizing of the rod. The nitrous kit I have is a NX Iceman wet kit with single nozzle and purge. I have a Microedge controller along with a bottle warmer. As for right now, I'm only planning on a 100 shot, maybe 150. The kit is capable of 300, and eventually I might venture up to 200, but I'll be keeping it low for now. I'm already well educated on hooking up this setup, but I just wanted to make sure I'm heading down the correct path. Thanks in advance.

How do you plan on retarding timing?? This is a Must. how many miles on your car? just curious. and my personal preference.... I liked the dual nozzle setup best. just felt more responsive and better TB coverage. You'll see what i mean when you mount the one nozzle. I have ran single nozzle, dual nozzle and currently a plate, but the dual nozzle has been fav just fyi fwiw.

Resistor mod FTW, Search for "resistor mod"

^^^^ that's what I did.... however its only goin to pull 3 degrees, unless u get ur tuner to change the IAT spark table. If u have the money, the lingenfelter and timing tuner are great and can pull up to 12-15 degrees. The HSW interface is good, but works like the resistor mod, so same limitation.

rule of thumb 2 degrees per 50hp.. anyways the Katech rod bolts still sometimes need to be resized along with the ARP bolts.. some people do it, some not. Might as well do it the right way the first time especially with the k-member and oil pan off IMO.

In my case I had to pull 9 degree for 150. For a 100 I was fine with pulling 5.
I wouldn't have known that I needed more than 2 degrees per 50 without reading the plugs with the help of smarter people than me on this site.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm gonna go with the resistor mod and a 75 shot and see how she does. After that, I believe I'll be picking up that Lingenfelter module, seems like a good product.
