If i gap my plugs to 0.35 and i put the 125 hp jets am i safe with out retarding the timing like the instructions say??? also i have not yet purchaced any extra safety equiptment like a FPSS or a window switch....am i stupid to evan try using the nitrious with out the extra saftey equiptment???? where should i go from here??? i am new to nitrious so any info will help.... 
Before you make a full 1/4 mile pass with the 125 shot make sure you have everything in order.
Running a cooler plug with a tighter gap is best, and it helps to run the engine cooler when you're spraying.
You should be okay though as long as your KR is working.
A few seconds at a time shouldn't hurt just the way it is. It's the time factor that builds up the heat in the chambers.

without a window switch just be sure to pay attention to your activation rpm point. Use the general rule of not spraying below 3000 rpm and youll be fine. But its nice to get a window switch and remove the human factor from the equation. Many have run without one...including myself. But its highly recomended.
As for plugs and gap...what plugs do you have in there now? As long as they arent stock plugs youll probably be ok. If they are TR55s or the same heat range I would stay on your 75 shot until you switch them to TR6. You want to tighten the gap to around .038 or less when running the 125+ shot and be a heat range colder like the Tr6.
As far as FPSS you can get one...they are cheap and easy to install. I personally like a fuel pressure gauge to monitor fuel pressure status. Especially if your running the stock pump that is very prone to failure.
And lastly...its nice to get on a dyno with wideband to make a few nitrous pulls to check AF to ensure its all working properly. If you cant get to one...pull a plug immediately after spraying and read it. Do a search on plug reading for pics.
