seriously thinking of getting NOS, have a few ?'s

i really really want to get a NOS system. but i have a few questions. what is the part number for a NOS system for a v6(2.8). in summit the NOS power shot says they have v6 applications but doesnt list a price. plus my main concern is.... will the tranny hold up on NOS. it has a kit for a 90 shot but i wouldnt go over a 65-75 shot. what else do i need to get before adding the juice. i figured i would need a new water pump, but what else? plus can u give me some info on diff. setups? like dry or wet,foggers, purge, stuff like that because i dont really know too much about them and i want this to be safe all the way around. also any other company that makes a v6 system cheaper would be greatly appreciated.

Nitrous is GREAT... Your tranny will hold up so don't worry to much unless you have a manual. You really do not have to build up things if you keep it small, but one thing always recommended is:

1. New Fuel Filter
2. Test Your Fuel Pressure and Consider a Fuel Pressure Gauge in a gauge pod
3. Many recommend a good ignition setup. Wires, Plugs (Stock Style Only), Rotor/Cap, Ignition box, ect..


Get a kit with a WOT switch!!! Most should come with it.. Never use it under 3000RPM!!! 75HP is a good start!!

Summit also says that "if you don't see the application you need, call for parts and pricing information."
