Setting Engine up for Nitrous
I just purchased a Nitrous Works 70mm 50-175 hp dry nitrous system. I will be installing it on my 87 5.0 Hatchback. The motor is stock right now, and has 130k miles. I plan on running 100-150 shot (open to recommendations). I searched the forums, but couldn't find answers to a few questions. I purchased the following mods and will be installing them shortly:
Mass Air conversion - A9M computer with matching hypertech chip BBK cold air intake Hooker Shorty Headers BBK hi flow cat h-pipe Flowmaster catback exhaust MAC underdrive pulleys I know I need to get a 70mm throttle body, but is there any other recommended additions? Do I need to upgrade the fuel system (if so, what is the best method)? Should I run the hypertech chip? Should I upgrade the ignition? The car has a T5 transmission, is the WOT switch sufficient for protection, or should I use a window switch? Any other recommendations to make it safe? The car is not a daily driver, so if the engines blows up, it is not a huge deal, but obviously I would like to avoid it. At this point, I do not have any plans to go to an aftermarket intake and heads. I am interested in swapping camshafts to get a rough idle. Admittedly I need to research more on camshafts since I have no idea where to start. Thanks The car will need to be smog tested in 2009.

100 shot is pushing the limits of the 302 and i recommend a window switch to help with make it safer. as far as programming goes you will need to make sure it is set up to rum that shot. advancing timing will detonate and then boom, so be careful on that. you will need a fuel pump to produce enough fuel and the t5 probably be able to last to long without upgrades also.
