kickin around the spray thing...

I know you guys hate newb questions----

I am not new to N2O but am new to it on a MAX.

I've found a NOS wet kit (bottle, micro throttle, lines, solenoids) that has been used less than a full bottle's worth for $275. Seems good to me--u guys think it's fair?

I'm only planning on running a 50 shot or so right off the bat. Car is an 03 6 speed with 9k. Kinda plugs I need for a 50 shot? What is the range of shot per plug temp since they are a b!tch to change?

How about stock fuel system? Good enough for a 50 shot?

What else should I consider before install?

Experience speaks volumes! Thanks in advance for your input!!!

That seems like a real good price for the kit. A 50 shot, you can use stock heat range but it is recommended to go to one colder. THe rule of thumb is 1 step colder for every 50hp. Also, be sure to gap them accordingly. I would consider fuel pressure and nitrous pressure gauges and possibly an EGT gauge, though not really necessary with a 50 shot. I am not sure about the fuel pump, you may need to upgrade that, but the rest of the fuel system can handle much more than a 50 shot.

Thanks for the input! I was surely looking for feedback from a VQ35 guy. Most the info here is for 4th gens.

Also, I forgot to mention my timing advance (17 degrees BTDC.) Since the timing is only a "target advance setting" for the ECU is it going to be necessary to retard it back to stock? I know these knock sensors are hypersensitive and in reality don't always hit that mark---it is merely a "target" if all other conditions are met.

I'm told the stock pump can handle the 50 shot ok. I imagine if I go up to a 75 later then I will need to upgrade.

Nope, guess the forum is having issues. I'll try and edit that.
