Nitrous Express Wet kit
RPM Window switch
WOT switch
Purge kit
NGK TR6 spark plugs (colder range)
Bottle heater
Start around a 100 shot, see how that goes, then work your way up. I wouldn't go over 150 shot. Thats the setup I had, worked awesome, no problems. Enjoy the power. Good luck.

Thats exactly what I did. Sounds like your going down the same exact road I did, let me know if you have any other questions and I'd be happy to go into more detail. Jon
