how much do you plan on spraying? That could have a small impact on what other parts you might buy.

AF switch
guages
switch panel
remote bottle openers?????

Are you spraying big? Will you be needing a progressive controller?

And the list go's on..............

This is all that I see missing from a good base kit.
You will need the fitting to attach the blow down tube to the bottle.
These normally run $20-25
One step colder plugs NGK TR-6 or equivalent $15.92
Nitrous pressure gauge ~$20

But overall looks like you have the basics covered.

On the bottle heater there are many different options out there, they will all work about the same. Some claim they work faster than others but 20% of 15 minutes is only 90 seconds faster. I would find one that is easy to remove from the bottle and looks good when installed. I really like the 860 Performance heater as it integrates the bottle and bottle bracket into one unit. It also comes with wing nuts for the main feed line and the bottle brackets. This makes it very easy to remove the bottle.

I also prefer heaters that use a pressure switch rather than a thermostat to regulate bottle pressure.

For a window switch, I would recommend a digital unit over one of the pill operated boxes. This will make it easy to change settings without having to carry a box full of RPM pills with you. We have both single and dual channel digital window switches. Features will vary slightly between the units, some a RPM switches only and others will integrate TPS activation and others will have a gear lock out feature that can help with wheel spin in lower gears.

Please let me know if you have any questions concerning any off these items.

was unaware of the bdt fitting, i have the tr6's in my cart, and that is a nice warmer but a little too much,i can always upgrade though. And i think the MSD window switch should be what i need.

We are also now offering a single Channel windowswitch with built in TPS activation for only 99.00. So if Price is a reason for choosing a basic windowswitch check it out. The TPS activation is well worth it.

I would go with this window switch, yes it is $129 but you get single stage or dual stage window control, Built in electronic tps and multi gear lockout. Works extremely well.

If you do not need all the features it looks like Nitro Daves new switch is also a good option either one I would choose over the MSD.


For a heater I would recommend our 300 watt heater - the best performing heater on the market priced at $99.
