Alright, I've decided one of my first mods is going to be in the area of a 100hp NOS Wet kit. Not too crazy, but enough for my liking

Now they say you can run it with a stock engine... however, they're also trying to sell their product with ease.

Any tips or suggestions before installing the spray? Im sure this'll help other guys as well.

Im not trying to be an @ss, but my first tip would be to look in the section dedicated to nitrous....

already did?

all the threads are post-installation talk

You can use the search function.. but since im such a nice guy, ill do a quick write up to save you some time. You can run a 100 shot all day long on a stock LT1, provided its in good condition. I am running a 125-150 shot on an 180K km stock lt1.

-make sure your car is running in good condition before installing the spray. If your fuel pump is old, consider replacing it with a high volume in-tank pump.
-change spark plugs 1 step colder (tr6 or autolite 104's) and gap down to .045 or so.
-read up on nitrous and understand HOW nitrous can hurt your motor (i.e. engaging too soon, hitting the limiter from a miss shift, etc) and then decide what safety features to use to prevent those situations
-at a 100 shot, you shouldnt need to retard timing
-make sure your budget accounts for all of the safety items needed. You'll need about $800 - 1000 to do it properly.

nfa said gap the plugs to .045, id recommend .035.
Another thing to think about is an aftermarket ignition system. Id recommend looking into the Mallory 685 box as it can retard timing if needed and has a built in window switch. Just in case you dont know a window switch is a "window" in which you set with the box in which you want to spray, say engage at 3000 rpm and shut off at 5900rpm. So at WOT from 3000 to 5900 when the nitrous is on you will spray.
Heres the rundow.
-1 step colder plugs gapped at .035 or wherever you choose
-Nitrous kit
-Ignition if you choose
-Fuel pressure safety switch, purge, and bottle heater

I'll second the Mallory 685 box, you can kill two birds with one stone since it has both a built in window switch and ignition timing retard. As already mentioned, colder plugs, a bottle heater, a fuel-pressure safety switch are all good ideas.

Having installed a small outfit over the past month my first recommendation is to choose a dealer that answers questions with a good attitude. I wish I had bought my kit from anyone of several dealers here and on other boards. I'm not going to recommend one over the other because I don't want to offend any of them. To me, their prices are all in line; its just a matter of who you feel the most comfortable with. If you track their posts you will also get a feel for what they know. There's some tricky stuff with nitrous that I am learning somewhat on my own. It would be great to have been a customer of someone who installs the same kit I am working with.
