An rpm window switch, colder spark plugs (close the gap up a little), and adjustable fuel pressure regulator if you don't already have one.

IDK, my kit came with everything included. Unless you are talking about bottle warmer, purge, remote opener, etc.?

As stated above a window switch should be mandatory for a nitrous application especially if its a manual transmission.

If you want it to get the most out of the kit then you should get a bottle heater and a purge kit. If you can only get one then get the bottle heater. The heater the I have is pressure controlled so it maintains the pressure right at 1100 psi. They are usually adjustable so you can change your pressure set point.

I have never had a zex kit but my Trickflow wet kit came with all the solenoids, jets, hoses, WOT microswitch, bottle and a switch for arming. I purchased a bottle heater, purge kit, window switch and a autometer pressure gauge separately.

At a minimum I would get a window switch, heater and at least a tank mounted gauge.

I ran the stock plugs with the gap closed up a little bit for the 50 shot and then dropped to one range colder when I went up to 100. And don't for get to back the timing out 2* for each 50hp of nitrous.
