Default safety precautions

Going to install a tnt, what extra's are neccesary. I'll have a window switch, and a bottle warmer, should a do a fuel pressure safety switch? What about bigger injectors or a fuel pump? I have a 2001 TA and I will not go bigger than a 100 shot.

Fuel pump and larger injectors shouldn't be needed w/ a 100 shot. Ive heard of people throwin 150 shots w/ stock inj's and fuel sys, how long it lasted i cant say. But, w/ a 100shot i'd assume you'd be ok, just make sure you dont hit the rev limiter while sprayin...cause you'll go from <img border="0" alt="[Driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" /> to <img border="0" alt="[kaboom]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bomb.gif" />

Personally I dont run a FPSS, but I do use a WOT switch, and blowdown tube assembly. The blowdown is supposed to be a mandatory item, but we all know how that goes. As for fuel pump and inj, not needed at that level, even though TNT users report over 100hp gain with the 100shot, you will be safe as long as your A/F is good, check with autotap as insurance and peace of mind. Also, what about plugs, use NGK TR6 or Denso IT20 iridiums. Gap your TR6's at .038 and you won't loose any performance NA. Good-luck.
