Default Nitrous Help Needed

Alright, I'm doing a wet nitrous system on my stang and I need to know what else I need. The kit is complete with all solenoids and stuff. It has purge valve, bottle heater, and window switch.

I have a "Canned" Predator tuner on the car and I am wondering if it would be advancing the timing too much for spray. I only plan on running a 50-75 shot...Nothing spectacular. Do I need different plgs, and if so, which ones would be best suited for my setup?

if your tuner has a tune to run off of low grade fuel like 87 then switch to that tune when you know your gonna run the juice. ALWAYS use 93 octane but switching to the 87 tune will pull the timing enough to run 100 shot

Get rid of the tune, it's not worth losing the bottom end over a few extra ponies. My stock plugs are holding up well, but I NEVER spray for more than 10-15 seconds at a time without a plenty long cooldown period. The only other thing I would add to your kit is a pressure gauge and a WOT switch.

idk what kit you're buying but unless you have a schrader valve on your fuel rail, you'll need a fuel rail adapter

That adapter is a life saver, the stock Ford fuel line has a plastic sheath on the INSIDE, and when you push a ****** t-fitting into it, the sheath crumples up and plugs up the line pretty good... It was enough of a clog to stop me from going past 4800 RPM or so WOT in first gear (testing everything was still a-ok before first spray, and I'm glad I did).

Well It's a Zex Wet system That I'm getting from a member of my local car club. It's complete with window switch, bottle/bottle heater, purce....EVERYTHING. I'm getting a REALLY fair price on it. SO I am gonna use it. I thought about buying just the plate from NX since we're a NX dealer, but I am not sure if the lines are the same size or not.
