Use the best ignition you can afford with good plugs (I use Autolite race plugs). You will be running a wet kit (not EFI style system). Do not need to do a whole lot for a small 100 shot other then make sure your fuel system is up to it.
We Use Nitrous Outlet (Nitro Daves) for all our quality parts. You DO want quality and not dirt cheap
Give the boys a call they will hook you up.
BTW they ARE sponsors here

right now im runnin a mallory dis. with their high volt. coil. and mallory wires, with Autolite 3924 i believe, what all do i need to check on my fuel system to make sure its up to it or should i be safe with just a 75-100 shot i wont be using any over that, do i need to richen up the carb any? and should i back my timing of a little when im ganna spray? or will i be fine with just bolting every thing on and goin to town and not woring about anything.

Use the chart that came with the kit.
For a tiny hit you can usually use the same plugs, but we always run cold cold plugs anyway.
We never change the carb, they are 2 systems, do not change one system for the other, N2O & carb are tuned for themselves.
Timing, we always start off low and work up to the sweet spot. 2 per 50 or 3 per 100 is a good start.
I'm a fan of my NOS big shot kit, but I'm old, they probably have better now. Just read and do everything it tells you, and if in doubt, "stop" and ask someone that knows. Good luck, be safe and hold on, the 1st hit is cool.

You'll be using a "wet" style plate kit if running a carb, a few things you might want to get in addition to the supplied kit, is a bottle heater, purge kit, window switch, and fuel pressure guage. As far as plugs, i run NGK tr6's gapped at .035 and havent had any problems spraying up to 175 shot. 100 shot is relatively small, but you still may want to pull 2* of timing just to be on the safe side. A better coil and/or msd box would benefit you as well, but that stuff isnt really needed. For kits, the NOS snyper kit would be good, since it is good to 150 shot and is decenty priced at around $370, nitro daves is also a great place to get kits.

Verdad Gallardo I havent personally heard anything about the edelbrocks kits (good nor bad) and i dont know of anyone running them. I just stick to the ones i know work best.. NOS , NX, Nitrous works, TNT, Dynotune. 100 shot is like night and day, especially in 1st gear
