a cuttoff switch is a must for safty and keep your engine alive and you will need to up grade you fuel pum injectors and regulator awsell so you car can deliver the necessary fuel requirements is need when its on the bottle

You do not need to upgrade your injectors or pump.

yes safty switch is a must if you drop fule press and dump alot of nitrous in the enigine you can burn a pistion up

nitrous adds cold air to you air and if youdont all the same amount of fuel to it it will run really lean when it on the bottle and if you lose fuel press while on the bottel you can burn a pistion up or burn the rings up

The fuel pressure safety switch comes into play if your fuel volume is inadequate or your fuel pump fails while you're on the bottle. Your fuel system is adequate. So buying the switch will save your motor from having the nitrous lean it outIF the fuel pump fails WHILEyour on the bottle.

I don't run fuel pressure safety switches. I build adequate fuel systems.

yeah if it's a new pump, and new inj your fine. good piece of mind for $15 though, look on ebay and search on fuel pressure safety switch.

no you don't need to spike your fp at all.

retard your timing to about 10* for 100-125 jets

close your plugs to about .035"-.040"
