Do downpipe, header, and maybe 2.4 intake manifold if you're going to run the nitrous.

the mani isn't needed for spray. most have a false belief that because the stock is plastic it's gonna blow with the spray. to this i call bullshit. the fuel puddling in the mani causes it to blow not the fact that its plastic. a window switch is gonna do more for the bottle then that mani will.

for a zex kit that's a good deal. get a window switch. i use the msd digital rpm widow switch. it does not have a gear look out, however i find when spraying in first i don't have any seriuos traction issues. just the usual squeal from the tires braking lose but they catch halfway into second.

the 2.4 mani is made better and offers hp so it would benefit to have even if it does nothing for saftey(<-spell check?)

Higher compression pistons, stronger rods, and valvesprings/retainers. Then go for a big shot with an smt unit or something to retard timing on the spray. Higher compression + 150 shot= big #s

yeah thats possible but he's gonna end up with either seperate fuel tune for daily driving or you'll be eating through mad fuel just to get around own without the spray.

no, the nay sayers and non-nitrous owners believe in the almighty backfire. just ask around. and turbotech racing has the cams that's my next mod and then the aem f/ic or smt6 for fuel tuning.

ok so turbotech racing has the cams and the cams are probably the same to i need anything special for the cams or nobecause i know that we have the cam times and gears so i didnt know if you knew if we needed new performance timers and gears. i was going to go maybe the cams,pistons the rods and the valve train then the nitrous or maybe just the nitrous startin off first with a purge kit not sure yet haha and eventually turbo

not true. wire the smt hot wire to the same window switch you hook the nitrous to. Bam, stock tune under normal operating conditions, and then flip the arming switch, and you have a big shot and nitrous control in a window switch.
