First trash the stock fuel pump and get a 255lph at least. I just installed the Racetronix and love it, fuel pressure went from 50 psi to 65 psi on the stock regulator.
Dont forget the usual safety stuff like FPSS and a Window switch, I also have these and wouldnt dream of spraying without them although some do.

Yeah, NGK TR6's are my personal choice and if you wanna run that cam (same exact one I have) you will need to retard the timing, it's suggested that you retard 2 deg. for every 50 hp. It's also recomended to close the plug gap by .004 for ever 50 hp. Here's a very good and informative read, I read all of it a few times before I spent any money. Hope this helps!

BTW About retarding the timing, talk to Matt @ HSW he has a couple of very good devices that work very good and only retard the timing when the nitous is armed.

Welcome.
I run a wet kit and agree that a dry kit is safer but, if I were to go dry I would run bigger injectors for sure. The injector factor is the only reason a wet kit appeled over a dry kit to me. Also a lot of people agree that a wet kit hits a lot harder than a dry making a little more torque. Another con of the dry kit is that you are limited to how much you can spray too. Neither is really better than the other just have different pro's and cons,
