Zex They are easy to install, and most important safe, with the way the "brain" works , In my opinion its the safest.

I would stay with a wet system if running over a 70 shot, its just better. I am using a NX kit and couldnt be happier (except when the bottle is empty like it is now )

It seems some kits require retard and some don't like the NX kit. Did you retard or go by what NX stated and not?

A wet kit is my choice, do yourself a favor and either spend the money on a quality kit and get the safeguards with it or wait and save up a few more bucks. If you lean out once you're done. Nitrous is the best bang for the buck no doubt but it isn't as chaep as they make it seem.

Completely agree, I do plan on getting the wet kit saftey features, such as

Fuel preasure regulator
window switch
purge kit
blow down
gauges
Crane fireball HI-6trc ignition with timing retard
spark plugs

Anything I may missed?

What do you consider a quailty kit? Others then I listed?
I am leaning towards the NX and Harris Speed works.

Well its kinda funny, they tell you that you dont need one then in the instructions it says about 2 degress for a 100-150 shot.
I am only using a 100 and stock timing and I dont have any problems. Just make sure you use only prem. gas, or if higher shot race gas that is unleaded (if you have cats).
