Only thing that I didnt really see that u would need is the Fuel Pressure Cut-off switch. Everything else looks like it should be there. Anyone else?

I jsut wasnt sure that when u said "all switches" if u meant the fuel safety was included. Now that i looked at the pictures I can clearly see that. Everything looks good to me.

Thanks.. So we talked about colder plugs and a bigger fuel pump thats going to happen. Anything else you can think of to make this stock car able to handle this kit? Im going to spray a 100 shot.

Re: Getting a nitrous kit. Please help this new guy out.

The only other suggestion I will make is to just use it responsibly. The stock motor can take a 100 shot if its done right, which everything seems to be there and should be no problem for your motor. Just dont get to crazy with it and waste it on ricers and other vehicles u wouldnt need it for racing on the street. Good luck with it, I am sure u will like it. Peace, Dustin.

The A4 would be my first worry not the motor. I know tons of guys locally putting 150-175 shots on stock motors even with bolt on's and/or cams. The A4 will be the first casualty of the N2O.

Tranny cooler, dont spray through shifts or off the line with slicks would help. But its a toss up as to how long it will last.

The 4L60E is the only thing keeping me from spraying. Its NA for me.

You can spray man, many people can get the stock A4 to last a while. But its not immortal. So it will eventually go. Some go in a week, some months.

Since N2O makes so much TQ its what the tranny just cant handle.

as far as the tranny, i do have a window switch that comes with the kit so you arent spraying through shifts


that was one of my main concerns as well

Yea, I'd have a 150 shot on my car in a matter of days if I knew the tranny would hold at least a few months. But its even optimistic at times to think that.
