Default safe to spray on these mods?

hey guys have a question, ive got a 00 t/a with mods listed below and im interested in starting to get into nitrous. looking at basic wet shot kits right now with jets from 75 to 125. is my current setup ideal for a small shot or will it be a waste of money and my cam and mods wont respond well to nitrous. if nitrous would work for me what would be the weak points in my setup to upgrade? looking to make a benefit not to potentially harm my motor. car is dd'd and is a 98% street car.

You setup should be fine to spray a 75-125 shot. I'm about to do it with mine, and I have the stock pistons

Stock pump might not handle it if your close to maxing out your current set up.

Yessir. If u are close to maxing out your current fuel pump, the xtra load pulling from the rail could starve your motor, and or not supply enough to the kit.

i second the pump upgrade, especially as added insurance. Just about every engine will respond to nitrous so you don't have to worry about the right specs as much. Remember the nitrous is just a means of adding more air (specifically O2), you just need to make sure you can supply the fuel to keep it knocking to death.
