Help me build a safe setup. I got a cam 231/234 .644/.598 111 lsa. It is a torquer v3, I got full boltons, and a full suspension, some extra things here and there. I do my own tuning with hptuners & a wideband. I may do heads at a later time too.
Id like to start figuring out what all i would need to do a 75-125 (150 capability would be nice) shot. I haven't decided on wet or dry yet.
So basically, what all am I going to need? what is a good reasonably value priced kit to start with and then what all do i have to add to it?
I know i need injectors, they are close to maxed (80% IDC).
Fuel pump maybe, anything else?
On top of that
I know i need a bottle, tubing, electronics w/ window switch, fpss, etc.
Can anyone give me a good rundown?

K i put together a list, lemme know what im forgetting. Now my one question, since i am doing a wet kit and am planning on using a better fuel pump, do i need to worry about injectors? (I don't know exactly what my idc will be because i am going to change my tuning a little bit next time i go home, i had a drastic change in a/f in a small rpm range so there was a big spike in idc and i plan on running a little leaner)
Ok so far i got this:
DynoTune Two Stage RPM Window/TPS Switch
http://www.dynotunenitrous.com/store...?idproduct=194
8 cylinder EFI Nitrous System 75-150 wet
http://www.dynotunenitrous.com/store...?idproduct=228
Fuel Pressure Safety Switch
http://www.dynotunenitrous.com/store...?idproduct=135
Bottle Warmer
http://www.dynotunenitrous.com/store...p?idproduct=17
Purge Kit
http://www.dynotunenitrous.com/store...p?idproduct=24
Holley Performance In-Tank Fuel Pump, 255 LPH
Tr-6s
At this point i will mount it between the rear seats so i don't think a remote bottle opener is necessary, with the fpss, i dont feel a fuel pressure gauge is necessary either, now one question is how important is a nitrous psi gauge?

You shouldn't have to worry about injectors. However if you spray now, and wind up doing heads later you may be really pushing what the fuel system can handle.
I'm working at going cam/spray right now. Probably an MS3 to go with the TNT kit that's on the way. I'm also looking at running the PRC LS6 Stg 1 heads. Fuel wise I'm going with a Racetronix type fuel pump and the upgraded wiring harness. After talking to the guys at TSP if I were to have heads/cam and a shot that I would be pushing it with a 100 shot. Personally I'm seriously considering a stand alone fuel system. Since I can't do my own tuning I was thinking about a solid motor tune for off the bottle performance and running high octane race fuel in the stand alone for when I do spray.
If you're planning on running at the track don't forget the blow down tube.
I'm sure the guys with alot more experience will chime in.
Overall your list looks pretty good.

You definitely need a nitrous pressure gauge, you can get away with one on the bottle if it's between the rear seats...everything else looks good but I still say get a tune for a 150 shot just to be absolutely safe...
