I was just wondering what all i would need to buy along with a nitrous kit, just to be safe. I already have a 190 lph fuel pump. I am thinking new plugs, plug wires, and not sure about anything else.... Oh by the way the kit i am considering is a ZEX. thanks

A bottle heater is a must along with a pressure gauge. The gauges are pretty cheap if you get the one that mounts on the bottle itself. Also an adjustable fuel pressure regulator is necessary. GET THE WET KIT AS WELL. I just don't trust a dry shot of nitrous. The small extra cost for the wet system is cheaper than blowing a head gasket due to leaning out and then buying the wet kit after that.

Also might want to think about getting a purge kit. It will make a better shot into the intake.

on the wet system isn't there a chance of a manifold explosion if you hit the rev limiter?some one told me that the fuel will puddle in the intake because of it design and some of the cylinders may run leaner.anybody running the zex wet or dry?comments on both.

I purge through the motor. I keep my nitrous a little secret. In neutral hold the rpm's about 2k and hit the button once or twice, purged! It just sounds like you are clearing the motor.
