Default about to spray
Soon i will be spraying for the first time, before id do, can anyone tell me what to watch for before/during/after. As far as afger the run look under the hood for? Or check valve x, etc. I plan to check all the connections, but what are the things to expect either good or bad.

Well running the correct plugs and checking them would be a good start. Have the proper amount of fuel is imperative as well

If you do it do it right. you need window switch timing to be retarded fuel pump injectors purge valve bottle heater if run in cold weather.Nitrous is cool but can come with lots of problems if not set up right!

good advice, got the bases covered, timing pulling, bottle heater, purge, fpss, not worried about cops, just wanna know what to check here and there. pulling plugs to check them doesnt sound fun, but thats the breaks.
