Demello, since you pointed me over here in a pm, I highly suggest if you want the power of nitrous, you do not cut corners. If you do, the next thread we have to hear is how bad you hurt your motor.

Power costs money, nitrous is the cheapest route, but to do it right takes a few dollars.

Absolutely do the fuel pressure switch.

Absolutely make sure the fuel system can carry the load. If that means buying a pump then do it, why even try to spray if something has the possibility of coming up short.

Your not going to run enough spray to require a 2 stage window switch. Stick with a single stage if your trying to save a few pennies. If you plan to run a second stage of spray at some point in the future, then the 2 stage switch is justified.

You also asked about wiring in a tach adapter. If you use the MSD digital window switch you should not need a tach adapter, you can simply splice the odd colored wire on any COP, I prefer passenger side rear most coil. By odd colored wire, I mean each coil has a common red wire and an odd colored with a stripe, use the odd colored with stripe for hook up.

You still won't need the tach adaptor for the zex window switch. The pump is a good idea but the FPSS is a must.

the pump is a must to.im doing 150shot so that pump is much needed.... and that traction control switch is pointless if you ask me because if you have it and some bald sorry azz tires your going to spin even in second anyway.. get some good tires and the digital window switch adjusted not to spray till 3500 anyway..

My injectors are 24lb. and you wouldn't need a tach adaptor for anything associated with the nitrous kit

then i wonder wtf hes selling a tach adaptor with it lol

so i have a pretty good understanding of everythitng i need to buy now, what it does and why i need it

the olny thing ill be missing besides heaters and a dyno tune will be a way to tell psi and A/F

ive seen psi gauges on steeda.com for like 45 and im unsure of where to get the A/F gauge

im guessing its not really needed since im not going over 125 but id like to keep it safe and think itd be best to be able to keep an eye on my A/F ratio

doc do you know where i can get what i am looking for for a good price?
