You should be fine even with the most simple kit (single nozzle). I would suggest going wet over dry but that's just personal preferrence. Nothing wrong with dry. I would also get all the safety stuff i.e. window switch, fuel pressure safety switch, Wide open throttle switch, and bottle heater. There is more you can get to make it safer but that is a pretty basic and safe setup. I'm sure others will get more into it than I did but you get the idea.

P.S. you may want to search for some more info than you'll get out of this thread

You will be fine with 150 shot. If you wanted to do a simple setup and safe i would recommend a Nice Dry set-up with no jets, will be about a 125 shot. Get a FPSS and a MSD Window switch. I have a Harris Dry setup and works great. Good Luck

You have my permission. What the hell are you waiting for? Just in case, how many miles on the bottom end and that's stock right?
