Default Finally going to hit the bottle.

OK mods in sig and I know the car will be nuts since i built it for N/A(gears). But i have been thinking about the bottle for a while and worked a trade with a buddy. So here is a rough list of what i will have and tell me with your expertise what i will need to get/get rid of for this setup to work good!
-Just picked up a new Walbro 255lph intake pump
-NX wet kit
-Bottle opener
-Heater
-Full throttle sw
-Window SW
-Fuel safety sw
The car should hold i have a RAM clutch and Nitrous driveshaft, double roller chain, good oil pump, LS1 edit (what do i do different for Nitrous). All boltons and other mods in sig. ETStreet's also
So what am i missing or what do i need to know before i go out and hit the 100shot. I know the gears are going to be nuts and odds are the future will call for 3.73's. Car is already tuned at a 12:8:1 AF ratio. That should be OK for the Nitrous as far as i can read CORRECT?

That's IF i can hook and shift this puppy it's hard to do now. Avg. now is =to mid 11's. (only have 1000' tracks here in Arkansas so mid 9's) Car is to heavy but the rear seat's and front swaybar is all i'm going to pull on race days. So i doubt ill have stellar time in comparrison to the people on here but locally i will.

you dont have to drop down to 3.73's. 4.10's should be fine.

plan on shifting that thing like a raped ape... ur gonna rpm MAD with 4.30s (or goto a 28in tire) as far as edit is concerned if ur only doing a 100 shot i would just do colder plugs and leave it at that unless u have tuning that has upped ur timing or increase compression then maybe take 2 degrees out... the FPSW I dont like, i have never gotten any kit I installed to run for **** with one of those... DEFINATELY do the window switch... then grip and rip it... good luck

Well i did mil the heads 30 tho. So maybe ill pull about 2 degrees of timing anyhow to be safe. The colder plugs i put in during the head swap but i need to close the gap a little.
About the FPSW. So do they just kick in when they aren't suppose to and cause problems? Or was it a wiring problem? Just wondered if i should say screw it.
