ok- I decided I'm going to put NOS in my car.. but the only thing I have done is a cat exhaust and aem intake... I know there is alot more that needs to be done. What should I do? people have told me injectors, manifold, headers, spark plugs.. and more.. but what needs to be exactly done or what I should purchase, I do not know.. Somebody please help me out here.. there's got to be someone who's already done this <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> or maybe someone can give me a web site that I can read to study on this. Thanks <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/satisfied.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':satisfied:'>


ps- for you people that want to warn me about nos, I already know and I'm taking up the consequences. Thanks though. I'm doing this so I can prep the engine so I don't damage it horribly.

THINGS that you may need to look at to buy:

spark plugs with different heat range
fuel pump
and maybe an ignition system

Oh, anf FYI NOS is a manufacturer. N20 is Nitrous <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

Fuel pump is important.

Colder plugs is a good idea.

If don't upgrade the ignition at least make sure all the oem replaceable parts are new.

What kind of kit are you going to run? I would recommend direct port.

maybe its just me but i think you should do some internal modifications like forged pistons and whatnot. i would suggest the pistons especially if you plan on using the nitrous alot. nitrous really shortens your engine life.

forged pistons won't be needed for a small shot like that. it would be safe to check the compression to make sure the piston rings can take it, though.
