Alrighty, so ive got the Zex wet kit coming, and im starting to prep. Ive read about colder plugs, checking for vac/ compression, getting a fuel pressure guage to check fuel pressure, and getting a Tune.
My engine mods are: K&N ru-1785 intake, Trubendz Resonated Catback, Weapon R headers and Y-pipe, Magnecore 8.5mm wires, and new plugs..
The car will be getting tuned on a diablo chip with a predator tune.
Im thinking of running a 75 Shot, my car has 128K KILOMETERS, Its been well kept by me, the engine runs fine too.
Ive read and been told that stock plugs are fine, ive got BRAND NEW APP764's in there right now, im thinking my tuner might know what's best.
Just looking for some insight, if anyone has anything else they want to throw out there that would rule. Thanks!

put it on the dyno with a wideband to make sure you arent running lean even with your tune.

first get rid of the double plats. Personally, I think with that size shot you'll be fine with the stock heat range plugs. Just ensure that the gap is closed up. I ran stock heat range plugs when I had the bottom with no issues with about a 70hp wet shot....

i would go 2 steps colder " if 75 shot" on the plugs ngk makes them there great "i'll get the number" get a fuel pressure switch instead of a fuel presure gauge. it wont alow the nitrous to go on if fuel presure is to low, get a window switch to make sure you don't spray before 3200rpm, the reson for the plugs is i recently had to pull my new oem plugs becaude it melted the electrode's, i have a nx wet kit and they even said go 2 steps colder, get a bottle heater and nitrous tank guage, get a purge kit Bottle heater and purge kit here Fuel presure switch here Window switch here anymore questions pm me or post it..

NGK TR6s are a setp colder and will work excellent with nitrous.
Standard autolite plugs work too.

yea, ill be using a Road tune. My tuner said he can tune it with a flip chip style tune, he's also going to tune the car so it runs better so im happy.
Anyone ever had any experience with a dirct port nitrous injection? any benefits (and yes, i know what direct port is. I doubt it will clear our hoods tho)
Alrighty, now all i need is an A-piller Guage pod.

I'd pass on the A/F gauge(although I have one). I'd get a wideband with a digital reading, so you know your exact AFR.
