Default Am I doing OK? Need some advice

Here is what I have for my new wet shot, but want to know if there is anything I'm missing or other suggestions to help me put together the safest kit possible. I want to run a 125 shot on a cam/stalled A4. Lastly any tuning suggestions that you may have using HPTuners. Thanks ahead of time for the inputs..! My car is a 98 camaro, but I have an 01 engine if that helps any.

NX Wet Kit (Jets from 35-150)
WOT Switch
Fuel Pressure safety switch
BMN Window Switch
Bottle heater
Purge
Blow Down Tube
Walbro 255
TR6's

i used the Fuel pressure saftey before and it gave me problems. I just took the dam nthing off and felt seriously more power. Cause it would cut on and off when i was on the gas and it also made a ticking noise when i was on the gas too.

Wouldn't the only time the fuel pressure switch give you problems is if your fuel pump wasn't flowing enough psi to keep it in the preset range. After all the reading I've done that's what I gathered? In order for it to hold back power (i.e N2O) you would need to be short on fuel. Am I wrong in this thinking?

You are correct but you can always get a bad part. I wouldn't bypass it myself.
