I'm already supercharged what will I need to run nitrous?

I planned on running a 50-75 HP shot of nitous on my car. The question is what mods do you think I will need to do to safely do this? I have a stock fuel system and have my timing set at the normal timing even with my supercharger.

you really need to upgrade your fuel system if it is stock
i maxed out mine and poped a piston but the power with boost and nos
is super cool it just has to be controled right.

Yep, I second the fuel upgrade.
It would be prudent to use a fuel pressure safety switch on the nitrous system.
It would also be a good idea to use an adjustable timing retard device switched by the nitrous system.

I'm almost in the same boat. I want to run a 50 or 75 wet shot on top of the blower. I have the extra pump for the s-trim and the btm. but that's all as for the fuel system upgrads. What else do I need to do? another pump for nos? Thanks for any help.
