Default What am I missing, guys?

Hey everyone, just looking for some more input into a nitrous kit I purchased a couple weeks back from a board member. Its a NOS 5177 kit. Reason I went with it is because I got a good deal on it (I think), and I dont like the idea of fuel traveling through the intake manifold.

Anyhow the only thing that the kit didnt come with is a blowdown tube which isn't a big deal.

My questions are, what else do I need to run it completely "safe"? I figured I would definitely need a window switch & WOT switch....Maybe a Harlan window switch & jimmy jams wot switch? Also, I'm concerned about fueling...Should I upgrade the fuel pump & injectors (walbro 255 & SVO 30#)?

Any other input/info would be great appreciated. Thanks again.

A window switch, a WOT switch, and a bottle heater are pretty much shoe-ins. As to the fuel injectors and pump, you will be fine if you keep it below say a 150 shot. A 150 shot is pushing the limits, and anything over is asking for trouble. Anything below, should be perfectly safe.

MAKE SURE YOU GET SPARK PLUGS. NGK TR6's are the usual, and I honestly don't know what to gap them at for an LS1. DO a quick search for "NGK TR6" if you can, or "spark plugs" in the nitrous section and you will find the answer.
