Blow down tube vents the nitrous and pressure out of the cabin if the bottle should over pressurize so that it doesnt blow up and destroy your car.

Most good kits come with a blow down tube and rupture discs. A fuel pressure gauge is nice to have but you don't have to have one. Don't forget to pick up some colder plugs if you plan on spraying 100 shot or more.

colder plugs are not neccessary if you shot below 100? I thought they were neccessary for any level shot?
