Post Electrical Question for a Dry Kit - need advice!

The 125hp dry kit is on it's way ( I will be operating manually till I get an automatic setup) - I also ordered the MSD 6A ignition, so my electrical sparking won't be a problem. Here are my questions:

1.) The MSD has a rev limiter - what is an ideal setting for it with the n20 setup?

2.) With 100-125hp shot, will I need to adjust my knock? If so, where is this achieved?

3.) With 100-125 dry shot, will the stock fuel pump handle the new workload? If not, what is a good and affordable (I know, I know - I used the "A" word) fuel pump?

4.)Colder plugs necessary for the 100-125 dry shot? If so, what brand? Where to get?

5.) May have enuff money left over for either a new cam or headers - which one is the logical step?

Thanks gang!!

Did you do a search?? You would have found all the answers to your questions. Anyhow, Ill say what I know. If you got the MSD 6a, you wont have to worry about setting a rev limiter, cause it doesnt have one. The MSD 6al does. When I run either the 75 shot or 100 shot I do not pull any timing. When I run 125shot I pull 1-2degree, depending on how its running. I do this with a MSD universal timing retard mounted in the cockpit. It will work with MSD as well as stock ignitions. You might need a in-line pump. My kit came with one so that wasnt a problem. If you want to buy one, Walbro seems to be good (thats what came in my Zex kit). Not too sure how much they are. Probably around $200 +/- $50. You WILL need colder plugs. Dont even waste your time runing nitrous without colder plugs. You will just end up putting in another set of plugs a day later. People on this board perfer Autolite 103/104s or NGK TR6's.

Save that "leftover money", you will be needing it to fill that bottle quite often! Hope this helps you out

If you want a listing of the parts to install on your car go to www.azsupersport.com/stage5mod.htm. I have everything shown there except for the NGK TR6 (part #4177) and plug wires that I did during my install.
