Default Is this a good setup?

i was thinking about going with a wet kit, Dynotune, tnt f1 or something similar to get me to about a 150 sho max. If i wont be spraying a 150 right away i shouldnt need a fuel pump right?

So with that said does this look safe..
Timing tuner
WOT Switch
window switch
One of the actual kits.. anything im looking past?

Once you get comfortable wiht the nitrous your going to want to try the 150 shot. Walbro pumps are relativley cheap and simple to install so I would say get one too.

BTW: if the kit doesn't come with a filter or atleast filtered fittings get one. You'll find that a bottle heater and a purge is really nice to have and almost nessesary but, you could get those once your already set up. It's just easier to install it all at once if you got the cash to do it.

Quick 99. Go with the TNT F1 kit - once you have run the 150 shot enough, 200 look really great - the F1 kit is upgradeable to 200/250 shot with just the purchase of the jets.

Again get the window switch, bottle warmer, purge and their entire kit. AND THE FUEL PUMP!!!!! What risk the engine???? I "believe" RaceX have recently release the 99-2002 ver. Well worth the $$.

I personnally, I wouldn't use my money on a A/F swtich or a timing tuner. Get a real tuner - I use LS1Edit - but HP will work. That way you can down load the program you want to run. One for engine only, one for 100, 150, 200, 250. What ever.

I see you engine mods - which are great, but how about suspension? Tires? If you can't put it to the pavement, it ain't ****.

It would be cheaper on you to go ahead and buy a system with a GenX2.Considering winter is almost here you will need a bottle heater.Check out our september specials.There is some good deals in there.Let me know if I can help.

I will be using Dynotunes A/F switch because now it only cuts the n20 off if you run lean where before it cut off rich or lean. I am also going ot be using the timing tuner only to retard timing when I spray and for a window switch. I already have a custom tune but you can use the timing tuner for advancing timing n/a. For me the reason I dont do the edit thing is because its my daily driver and I would like to have n20 abilities on the street as well but if you only spray at the track and have the $ for ls1edit thats cool too!

I agree, you definatly need a bottle warmer otherwise you will be buying one after your first night out using the Nitrous. What about a nitrous switch center?
