This everything I will need for a safe N20 set up?

I dont wanna cut corners. I can get a n20 kit and accessories right now for an awesome deal, and think I am going to go ahead with it. Here is what I was going to get:

NX Shark Nozzle, Wet Kit
Purge Valve
Window Switch
FPSS
WOT Switch
Bottle Pressure Gauge
Switch Panel ( For ash tray )
Colder Plugs

If I did this, I would need to get a tune to pull timing. My other option, I guess, would be to get a Mallory 685, and use it as a window switch/pull timing, or would I still be better off using NX's window switch?

I still need to figure out what I am doing fuel pump wise, but other than that, is there anything else I need to have a safe/reliable set up?

If you dont already have an Ignition Module then you would be better of using the Mallory 685 unit. It seems like you will be getting just about all the essential componants for a safe system. You just need to figure out whether you want to stick with the window switch or go with the Mallory 685 box. The only other thing that I would suggest is to upgrade the fuel pump.

It looks like you got everything covered, as mentioned above, a fuel pump upgrade is also a very good idea. I would consider the Racetronix 255lph unit. It retails for around 140 bucks and is a plug-n-play unit to replace your stock pump.

If I got the Mallory, and pulled the timing with that, you see any real reason for me to get a tune then? I just have bolt ons, mods in sig. So I figured if I use that to pull timing, I should be fine.

No, just stick with the Mallory unit... if you get a tune to pull timing for when you spray, it will have timing pulled at all times, something that you don't want when you are driving your car day-to-day. With the Mallory, it is setup where the timing is only pulled when the nitrous system is activated.

You can still get a tune if you wanted, just dont have them do anything with the timing. Granted its not a necessity but every little bit helps. IMO

Add a bottle heater to the list. To get consistent performance, you want the pressure to be right.

^ I thought about a bottle heater. I also thought about cutting corners there for now ... But we'll see what happens. It really make that big of a difference?

Re: This everything I will need for a safe N20 set up?

w/you being up north...yes it will make a difference.

You want to be able to keep the bottle pressure between 900-1050psi depending on the kit you are getting...NX is 950psi...that is what the kits are rated at....if your pressure is to low you go rich, to high you run the risk of the solenoid sticking.

a heater and a gauge can be your 2 best friends
