Default Nitrous wet kit - how to make it safe and what is needed?

Basicly stock car with about nothing except a lid and filter...

This is what I have right now-
NOS nitrous wet kit 5117
--> this kit was designed for the Nissan 300ZX and has basicly only one little difference which is 2 nozzle system which I will convert into just one nozzle.
NOS bottle heater
MSD window switch with 3000, 5800, 6000 pills - which one should i use 5800 or 6000 ?
EGT and AF Autometer gauges
NGK TR6 plugs

Now what do I need to know about nitrous is that will this setup be safe enough for a 100 shot wet ? Will I need any extras? Thinking about and FPSS but I hear they don't always work miracles but it's cheap insurance. I have some HPP3 tuning that will be removed before spray. What about fuel requirements, will I need a pump? And another thing I have a Derale tranny pan should I get a cooler for that too to extends the tranny's life? Still gotta get the blowdown tube for the track but that's about it. What jets # should be used for a NOS brand wet kit for let's say 50,75,100 shots fuel and nitrous side jets? I did alot of research but what I am looking for is some strong advice from nitrous guru's out there.

if your rev limit is stock use the 5800 pill....if not you can raise it up to 6000 if your limiter is above 6200. with a 100 shot you will be fine on the stock fule pump, but it woudnt be a bad idea to log some runs on autotap to see if you are running lean. A n20 tune is also a good idea. a fpss is also rally cheap insurance and i would recomend but it's not fullproof

So if I raise the rev limiter to 6200 with the stock valvetrain I could use the 6000 pill?

You want the n20 to shut off a few hundered rpm's before you shift to make sure you dont hit the limiter while spraying....if you do it's not pretty....
