Use the stock MAF.
I've heard of a few people having a few little problems while using an aftermarket one.

Also, unless you're getting Izzo's trans. then I could seriously concider getting the window switch. Spraying thru the shifts on a stock trans. is just begging for trouble. Even if you do have the trans, I'd concider it just for safety precautions.

OK, cool, I'll get the rpm swith as soon as I have some cash. And yes, I've got Izzos trans <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> Just got it installed this week.

Default Got Nitrous, what else to get? and questions

OK, Just bought a new N.O.S. LS1 dry kit, I've got the bottle, jets everything from the kit.

I'm buying a Purge valve and remote bottler opener in a week or two.

For the remote bottle opener will the NX one work on a 15lb N.O.S. bottle? I would prefer this as it actually opens the valve instead of the N.O.S. one where the valve is open and it just shuts off the flow.

Would a fuel pressure gauge be good? I'm going to install the Fuel Pressure Shutoff switch, but should I get both (and will the fuel pressure sender unit work w/the fuel pressure shut off switch... they both hookup at the fuel rail schraeder valve right?)

Should I use my Stock MAF or my GMS MAF? I figure when I run i'll have my MAFT turned to full rich at WOT so that I am adding plenty of fuel.

Also I have the TR6 plugs and will be installing those before I spray the first time.

Should I get an RPM Switch? (I wsa thinking of getting one that activates at 3000RPM and shuts off at 6000RPM and for safety I'll raise my rev limiter to 6600RPM but leave shift points around 6000RPM)

Any other useful components I should get?


Thanks
Mike

Damn.. that sux!

Should I use the MAF descreened? ported? or leave it stock?

also:
I've since (original post) purchased an RPM Switch and a 3000 and 6000 pill(s). Once i find my autotap (I'm pretty sure I lent it to someone and they are now saying they dont have it <img src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" border="0"> ) and confirm everything... i should be good to go <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Descreened.
Especially with a dry kit.
