Default Spraying a mach1

im helping to put a bottle on a 03 mach1 5-speed 2moro.

we are prolly gonna run just a 75shot wet. hes getting colder plugs.

car has, OR x-pipe, cat-back, and intake and thats it.

is there anything else that needs to be done to make sure this thing is safe.

im gonna try and get him to keep his bottle pressures around 900 to keep it safe(r) for a while.

i put a kit on an 03 Mach 1 two weeks ago. all he has is a cat-back, air intake, and colder plugs. sprayed a 100 shot a few times, then bumped it up to 125. (wet shot). wired it with an activation switch and push button.

Generally speaking the kit would be safer with some devices, window switch/wot switch, gauge or way to monitor a/f, FPSS (mixed reviews)...

Are you sure about the forged internals on the Mach?

The machs have powdered metal rods, hypereutectic pistons and a forged crank.

I second the wot switch + window switch.
