I'm kinda in a rush and can't answer all your questions...you definitely need ZEX spark plugs. They're specific for running the bottle.

get the plugs and you may need a MSD or some type of ignition advancer/retard because when you run 75 I believe you may have to retard your timing 4 degrees or that may just be with the dry system, but the plugs are definatly a must. You only need the bottle warmer if you plan on spraying year around. I don't spray in the winter so naturally I don't have one, I don't have a bottle opener either, because I only spray on days that I feel like it, so I just open the bottle and look for victims, other times I just chill. Hell I don't even a purge kit, honestly I never had use for all that extra stuff. It really depends on how much money you want to spend.

and oh yeaaa... one more thing, other then the purge question, is the bottle guage, the PSI one, is that to tell how much nitrous you have left in your tank, lower psi less nitrous? or just sold to make your tank seem cool? hah thanx again

I just pmed you back with all the answers.

As for the whole retard/advancing part, you would want to retard the timing, never advance(generally), when going with forced induction. But you don't have to worry about that since you are running a 75 shot. If you run a 100 shot, you retard it 2 degress, and with 125 shot, you retard it 4 degrees.

As for the pressure gauge, with the 10 lb bottle, at least in my cases, 1100psi is a full bottle. The pressure gauge goes up to 1500 though. So don't think it's 3/4 full just because you see the needle below the 1500psi mark.

So with the 75shot wet kit, some zex spark plugs ((or ngk, as long as they are cooler plugs, not warm!)and what I mean by cooler and warmer, is that the plugs can come in 1-4 degrees cooler or wamrer in temperature than the stock ones) and the right octane, you should be safe to run the kit.

Sounds good, you must have the wet kit? I could only speak from the dry kit point of view.

The purge kit is to make sure you have nitours right at the tip of nozzle when your ready spray, it will also get out any air in the line so you have a clean spray as long as its engaged. As far as the gauge, lol I don't have that either because honestly your best spray pressure will be of course when you first get it filled. After sparying for about two passes, you begin to loose pressure and you may not get the pick up that you would when it is first filled. Call me cheap lol hahah but that is how I tell. I do not really spray all the time, so I don't need all that extra stuff. I have been spraying on and off for about 3 yrs now so I know my system. If you have the money, the other stuff just makes things easier to regulate.
