Default Nitrous Oxide in Arizona (Phoenix)

Ill be moving down to the valley of the sun soon and shortly after adding some Nitrous. Probably going with a NX wet plate kit with the NX gen 2 safety pack: http://www.americanmuscle.com/niexackit2.html, warmers, purge, switches...etc... I'll be getting a Dyno tune before I hit the juice. My question is about AZ temps. Its usually 90'+ down there even at 2:00AM even in the winter months. Will I have to drop in a colder thermostat or progarm the fans to come on sooner to keep the engine temps safe for nitrous use? I still want the bottle warmer, but if I have it on and the ambient temps in the air are 90'+ will it still keep the bottle within safe PSI without "oveheating" it? Finally, what do you think about the Hardball'R intake? I know if you set the N20 up right you dont have to worrie much about backfires but it would be nice to have the peace of mind of a 1-piece aluminum intake which in THRs words "Was designed to take a nitrous backfire". Thanks for your input

I would reprogram the temp settings for the sake of the stang. 100plus degrees plus road rising heat adds to the factor. Your mustang would appreciate it. I'm not too sure about the Nitrous issue though. I had buddies that kept the bottle in the car with the windows up and it was over 100 plus out and they didn't have any problems. IDK

Chandler, right in Firebird Raceway country. Ran at that track last year and it was quite toasty at night. Temp gauge never moved an inch all night but with nitrous I'm wondering if there is steps I should take for "preventitive maintenance"

heat+engine+nitrous=no good

Adj. your temp settings like you suggested, get the all temp coolant, synth. oil.

So long as you watch your temp gauge and it doesnt go insane you should be ok, and as for the bottle warmer its a bit excessive with the temps being so high and you have to consider the fact that if its mounted in your trunk its probably warmer than the inside of your car.

excessive heat+N20=pressure=bad day.
