You won't need a bottle warmer or a purge kit for either a wet kit or a dry kit. Those items would be nice to have but they're not absolutely needed. If tuned properly then you will hold up just fine with a 125 shot. Depending on the method you plan on using to add the required fuel with your dry kit, you may need to get some bigger injectors.

A bottle warmer will benefit wet and dry. There are ways around a purge kit but i would install one. I would also use a wet shot, though many people are running the dry with no problems. A stock block should be able to handle a 125 shot. A conservitave rule when running juice is to back timing two degrees for every 50 shot. I would back off about 4 degrees for a 125.

i actually just found a really good deal on a sniper wet kit so im gonna jump on it, so it would be better to run with that stuff though right? cuz i found some great deals, so with the wet do i have to worry about bigger injectors?

With a wet kit you won't need to worry about bigger injectors because the kit will supply it's own fuel via a fuel solenoid. Either way, you may want to invest in a 255lph fuel pump. I'm guessing you still have the stock pump. I also noticed that you have a supercharger on the way as well.

If you do indeed have a supercharger on teh way, then you're gonna need a larger pump and parger fuel injectors anyway. Unless you plan on running an FMU. And even then, I'd recommend the pump for any nitrous setup.

You should be able to get nitrous and a fuel pump for less than that. You can get a kit from www.dynotunenitrous.com and you can get a decent 255lph pump from ebay for $100 or less. I paid $85 for mine including shipping.

You can probably get away with the 125 with the stock pump as well. It's just pushin the envelope a bit. Especially since you're adding other power adders in the near future and already have some decent mods installed. I would suggest a fuel presure safety switch if you're going that route. That way you never have to worry about it.
