Nitrous questions

Ok, I got ahold of a bottle (fianally), I ordered nitrous and fuel solenoids today (80 bux for BOTH!). All I need now is a nozzle and lines from the bottle. Anything I should know before I get ready to spray? I figured I'd back timing off 2 degrees from std. How do I keep things as safe as possible (I won't be spraying over 50hp).

give that new 3.4 a nice big hug before you get in and get ready to hit that button.

Lol, AM91, believe me, I WILL! As for the Fuel pressure saftey switch, even spraying a wet shot?

Fuel pressure switch is highly reccomended, but not required. The idea has nothing to do with what kind of shot you're running, it's there in case your fuel pump starts to go south while you're spraying. Lean = bad. Lean + Nitrous = new motor.

I reccomend you go read some of the nitrous threads on the power adder board.
