Default Nitrous goodies worth the money?

ok guys what im wondering is if the purge system, window switch, and timing tuner are worth it. i'm wondering if it will lower my et in any way? i just picked up the msd digital window switch and a set of 150 jets. last time at atco i ran a 12.4 at 114mph w/1.9 60's on a 100 shot with my bottle pressure at about 800psi (15lb bottle) now with the addition of the window switch and a purge kit with good bottle press still on the 100shot would 11's be possible?

Just bottlke presure alone will make a good difference.. The purge will help your 60 foot it you had air in the line.A bottle heater will get the pressure where it needs to be. THe wiondow switch will keep you safe. The timing tuner will let you run the best timing for NA and nitrous..

And I love the Sig..

You will not get .4 seconds reduction in et with a purge...
With the bottle pressure where it should be will help.
Im betting a .15 reduction in et with the purge and heater kit. Lets get a pool going?
Run without the purge and heater, then run the heater, then run the both....
Would be neat to see the true diffrences....

I'm betting larger then a .15 reduction. Going from 800#s to 1050# pressure should
give him better then that. Looking at his location i'm surprised if he got 800# with
no heater.

well actually guys im running a heater but i think the day i had 800 i only had maybe 1lb or even 2 lbs left in the bottle was kinda a spur of the moment track trip so had no time to fill it. but i was spraying it at the end of 1st or the beginning of 2nd with no window switch but i'm just wondering if the purge, window switch and correct bottle press would make a diff. cause normally i run the bottle at about 1200 but i couldn't get the pressure any higher then 800.also i'd like to ask would maybe dropping one of the silinoids off the kit help witht he flow cause someone told me to run one instead of the 2 included in the kit. thanks for all the feedback guys.
by the way dave thanks for the compliment on the sig
