Default 125 shot what else do i need to be safe

I have stock 2000 trans-am with exhaust and i just installed a 125 shot wet nitrous kit. I have an msd window switch and full throttle switch, i also put in the TR6 plugs. Is there anything else i should do to make it any safer. I have already sprayed a couple of times nothing mager just in third and fourth gear on the high way and it seems that it stuters some times as like it comes on at 3200 and them maybe at like 4500 it feels like it goes off and comes right back on. I have heard people have problems with the window switch is this one of the problems or is it something else. Also i have read some threads about people being able to launch there car at lpretty high RPMs. I have to leave at like 1100 which almost stalls my car and my tires still spin. I have 3.42s and BFG traction T/A tires, are these just **** tires.

I assume you have a bottle heater as well? If I spray my car below 900 psi (not really reccomended by the way) it will stutter like that. That, or if Im getting really low on nitrous. Otherwise, its like JP said, checking the a/f on the dyno is the best $50 you'll spend. And aside from the safety aspect, if your car is running really rich on the spray, if the jetting needs to be adjusted slightly, the a/f ratio will tell you.

thanks i think it might be that the bottle is prob below 900 psi, because i dont have a bottle heater and its pretty cold out. Are u saying it only cost $50 bucks to dyno your car cause i always thought it would be more than that. Can i hurt my engine by spraying below 900psi?

Get a bottle heater and your good to go. Also get an A/F ratio and a N2O pressure gauge to monitor while your driving. It will help you out.
