Nitrous
Still trying to decide if I want to do a nitrous setup or go supercharger but for some reason nitrous just seems like it'd be more fun to mess with (I wouldn't know though).
1. What is needed for a basic nitrous setup?
2. For those who have had nitrous, and maybe other forms of F/I, what are the pros and cons of nitrous?
Was looking at this:

If I got that what else would I need, or what else would be recommended?

The only real big down fall of nitrous is that its not always there, but these motors love the spray it really wakes them up!!!!! Just make sure u run a wet system, with a wide open throttle switch, window switch, and a bottle heater.
That kit your looking at looks great. Its only missing the window switch and bottle heater.

The major downfall with nitrous having to fill it. You can make it so it's always there by having a flip switch with both n/a and nitrous tunes, or if you want to be more risky just spray when you want without pulling timing...i wouldn't do that personally. I run a flip switch so i'm very safe and always ready to go in an instant.
One thing to consider as well, is that because of the instant hp and hp generated by nitrous you will outrun most blown stangs even if they have a little more hp than you. Ask me how i know!

I've always thought it would be awesome to have a badass N/A setup with nitrous.
MRT, from the link I provided in my OP, what would you suggest I get to go along with the kit I'm looking at? Is this flip switch you speak of the same thing as a window switch? I want this to be as safe as possible.
