Default What else do I need?

I am planning on running the NX kit #20920 on my car. It is a 98 WS6 with
ported ls6 heads, gm hotcam and ls6 intake, M6. I also have a bottle heater and msd window switch for it. I only plan on running a 75 shot, but I want it to be extremely safe. What else do I need for it and is the shark nozzle after the MAF okay if I stay with the 75 shot. Please let me know any safety additions I should make, thanks for your time.

No, I am running the 98 stock injectors, I think they are 28lb, and pump. What do you suggest?
The racetronix with the hot wire kit. I should probably do that and get a FPSS. Are there different FPSS out there or one you recommend. The injectors should be fine correct?

Your injectors will be fine. As for the Racetronix http://www.nitrousoutlet.com/catalog...product_id=967 and FPSS http://www.nitrousoutlet.com/catalog...roduct_id=2553

if you are already heads and cam- probably close to 400rwhp. I would change out the injectors to 42's to be safe. I am cam only and need to change out my 28#'s as I am already maxing them out.

I would get a racetronics kit, and at least a FPSS.

I would do the racetronix fuel pump upgrade just to be safe as well as the FPSS

Thanks for all the response, I will get the fpss and the pump for sure, already have the plugs. As for the tune itself I should have it looked at correct. I had the car set up after the head/cam install. So there maybe some adjustments I need? Again I am not looking to break any land speed records, just want to be on the safer side of things and feel something new from my car this summer.

you definatly need to see what your injector duty cycle is. Get some new injectors at a minimum.

yes buy a pump and hotwire kit. its a wet system so u wont need to change the injectors. make sure ur tune is spot on and pull a little extra timing if u bump the shot up.

correct me if im wrong. But too often i hear it recommended to gap plugs at .035
that is too tight. It is just a 75 shot and not for a race car i'm guessing. Which means its rarely getting sprayed. Everyday performance will suffer.

again, Correct me if you feel i am wrong.

Glad your getting ready to install this! If i pick up the Double pump kit for my car, i'll have the racetronix with the hotwire kit and such you can use.
