There is a lot of terrible information in here.
AH being on will not slow down your ET/MPH in the 1/4 mile
Drag radials will not make you faster with AH off than with just TC off
Disabling AH and TC by holding the button down for 5 seconds will not make you faster
As far as nitrous....
You don't need a lot of the stuff listed there. Some of it helps and some of it is for convenience and some is just not necessary. Other than the kit I'd get a Fuel Pressure Safety Switch if it didn't come with it. Your kit should come with a WOT switch and nitrous pressure gauge. A heater is nice for consistency and keeping pressure up when nitrous bottle is not full. A well tuned auto can spray through the gears and doesn't really need a window switch unless you're launching at very low RPMs, which would be odd. TPS activation is nice, but not necessary. Purge isn't necessary at all unless you're getting really serious and need to make sure the nitrous is perfectly ready every time for absolute consistency. Remote bottle opener is a nice luxury if you want it. Most tracks won't require a blowdown tube.
The Fuel Pressure Gauge is a good idea.

I have added a few things to my kit. Its getting installed this monday.
Added
-Fuel Pressure Shutoff Switch
-NGK 6 Plugs
-Window Switch
-Purge
Will be retarding the timing with handheld tuner, A/F ratio and tune will be verified on a dyno. I will get a printout of the N/A pull, 75/100/125/150/175 shots to see where the maximum amount of spray I can safely use. Race fuel will be added for the 150/175 pills, if not all.
So, I basically more than doubled the cost of my kit, but it was worth it to know I have the safety features that will save my ***.
