hahahahahahaha or just in short nitrous. yea i get the same way when people refer to it as nos.

it should hold up just fine for either. and you dont really need anything unless u wanna get a step colder plugs just for safety. but really just plug and play.

What are u looking at wet or dry?

window switch, for sure. I wouldnt spray under 3500k to lessen the likely puddling effect http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ak6g6jCrWzY

and you might want to retard your timing if you go with a big shot. Ive seen many cars last a while on a 100shot. Just be ready to pay if you want to play with that stuff.

Doesn't hurt to be safe with it

I went with the MSD digital window switch (nice piece ) along with some other goodies. I actually have more money tied up in extras than I do the actual kit

Bottle heater will be here either tomorrow or the next day, my xcal2 should be here in 2 days from JMS (was getting reflashed and tuned), I still have 2bottles that I need to sale since I really don't need two bottles, much less three. One of them is a 20lb bottle which is huge

weak. He sprayed that way too early, but doesn't puddling only happen with wet shots?

na u can spray under 3k if u want. NX told me you can spray at 2500 if u want but u have to be in a low gear like first. but a window switch is not necessary either unless u are running a wot switch and u like to switch gears without lifting ur foot off the gas. or when u hammer the gas pedal off the line u spine teh tires and dont let outta the gas before u hit the limiter.

why that guy got a nitrous backfire was because they were on the dyno and i would assume they did the run in either 3rd or 4th both steeper gears than first and they probably sprayed around 2500 and boom. u just have to be smart with it thats why i changed the wot switch they sent me into a push button because now i can go wot in a 2nd gear run and the nitrous not spray until i see the tach at 3 and then i push it.

yeah, didnt know if we were talking NOS as in the generic term for nitrous, or NOS as in the dry kit.

Go with the NGK TR6s, you can get them for around $1.50 a plug at the local Oreillys or any other auto parts store.

My car is an automatic and I even went with the window switch.

thats correct you will not need anything for the 100 shot. especially on a wet kit. on the dry i would probably look into new injectors just as a precaution. but it shouldnt be needed. wet kit is safer in a way and more dangerous in a way than a dry kit a wet kit will always add same amount of fuel. dry kits rely on the ecm to richen up the mix when nitrous is sprayed. A wet kit if u spray too low of bottle pressure or you are too lean u can get a nitrous backfire.

dry kits advantage is its cheaper and if u are planning on staying under a 100 shot then its probably the way to go. wet kits are not necessary until u start upping power to 100 and beyond.

Nitrous tends to run around $4 per lb in my area (at the tracks anyways) so roughly $40 for a standard bottle. You'll get quite a few full passes out of a correctly filled bottle.

I suggest that you find a nitrous FAQ article and just read up on it. I imagine there is one at MOST mustang sites such as here, corral, ,m0dulardep0t, and so on.
