Default A few tech questions

I have an 89 5.0 that has a 303 cam, MSD distributor/coil, 75mm BBK Throttle body and a cold air intake. Not much else on the motor. Here are the questions:

1) I wanted to install an Explorer intake:
A)Would it benifit me to go to larger injectors and MAF over stock when I install the intake?

B)What would be the gain to eliminate my EGR when I install the Explorer intake?

2) I want to install a 100+ dry shot system of NOS.
A)What else would be needed besides a larger fuel pump?

B)What gains could I expect from the suggested combos above?

A no

B but you will have to any way, less carbon that can produce a ping with NOS.

2.

A. you want a wet system,adjustable fuel pressure regulator,bottle heater,

B.125 Solid HP : ) .5-.9 et reduction 1/4 mile

Use 93 Octane, Cold Air Intake 42 Psi Fuel. Stock pump is fine with that shot, but why risk the volume lol, your doing the right thing

So what size injectors are recommended. Can I upgrade the injectors and MAF and run that for a while before I get the NOS system or will it run rich.

Why is a wet system recommended over the dry NOS?

I would get a bigger pump, not even an option with n2o. Wet adds fuel with the shot and dry just adds n2o, so it is a safer way to go. I have ran both dry and wet and no problems with either. If you had the bigger pump and your timing set properly the dry will be fine. You have alot of other mods that need to be done like exhaust for one, i would spend the $ on that over the n2o.
Save up and get a better intake.
