Default Nitrous help

So i have been looking into doing a 100 shot recently and i have the money for it now and I'm just wondering if you guys can give me a list of what i need. Im gonna go with the HSW dry kit. Now along with it i need a window switch a fuel pump and what else? I'm gonna hold off for now on the heater. How necessary are bigger injectors? I know this has probably all been answered before but I can't find it all in one.
Thanks

Just wondering why dry... when they have a bad a** wet plate kit for $400-500..? Plus you don't need to change your injectors...

I've been running a NOS dry kit for around 3 years now and it has been extremely reliable. Not a single problem yet. You will most definitely need larger injectors though.

Bigger injectors and fuel pump to run a dry shot. I would invest in a bottle heater, preferably a self regulating one. Also, a window switch like you said above. Everything else I think will come in your nitrous kit.

And 1 step cooler plugs. NGK TR6 are a good plug that many people, including myself, run when using a power adder.

If your heart is set on a dry shot then these guys are correct. Larger injectors (42 would work well), window switch (if your a manual and you want extra safety), and one step colder plugs. Bottle warmer and remote bottle openers are not really needed but a bottle warmer is a really good investment!! It will make your hit a lot harder!

And don't ever forget...."Nitrous is like a hot girl with an STD, you always want to hit it, but don't want to face the consequences...." So set up that nitrous kit right the first time and youll be good to go man!

With a wet shot żou don't need bigger injectors or a better fuel pump. Also, if your running just a 100 shot you don't need a tune for it as where with a dry you do. I would never run a 100 shot without it being tuned though.

People also say a wet kit hits harder than a dry kit.

Yup. Nailed it. Plus a wet kit with the plate atomizes the nitrous better making a better distribution in the combustion chamber. Its always good to get your A/F checked but my "Custom Dyno Nitrous Tune" was the stock tune... It was a huge waste of money.
