you will be ok without them for now, but it would be a good idea to install them at a later date. what kind of kit are you useing.

You can wait on these items, but id definetely get a pressure gauge so you can keep and eye on it. Fuel pressure would also be advisable. When you setup your jets, the ls1's are running 59psi, so if you jet it for 50 psi you should be runing rich enough to keep it safe. Depending on how many miles you have on the car, id suggest a new fuel filter if you have more than 10k miles on it. A fuel pressure safety switch would also be a good idea. The bottle heater, although a good idea, is not needed. When im on the street, my bottle usually sits around 900 psi, and the jets are meant for 1000psi of bottle pressure, again making it a bit richer. Just dont lean out. If im at the track and the bottle pressures low, Ill just turn the heat on in the car and close the doors, thatll raise the pressure quickly and its cheap too. haha. If you do with a heater, make sure you get the new NX Fire and Ice model. It costs the same as the rest of the heaters, but if will cool the bottle too if the pressure is too high. its nice...

A bottle pressure gauge and a heater are needed for a system to work at its full patential.You need the bottle pressure gauge to see where your pressure is.A wet system will not work very well under 900 psi.As you use half the bottle the pressure will drop with out the heater you will not be able to use all the bottle to its full patential.And that kit will actualy go up to 250 hp.
