Default Well I'm finnaly going to do it

Found a good Nitrous kit that im going to put on the SC3, I really havn't seen to many people do this so I figured what the heck 400 bucks is cheaper then 5k.

Im going to be using a RPM window switch and the the full wot switch I think I can use both. Any idea what I should set the RPM window switch at? Maybe 2-5 1/2k RPMs? Also who has the Lexus maintence CD? Im going to be needing some wiring digrams if somone could hook me up.
I'm not going to shoot more then 50 shot through for a while, until I get a a/f comp, tune, and upgrade the fuel pump.

Also what spark plugs do you guys suggest? I have heard a no go on the NGK platiums and I think thats what I have so guess I will have to change that.

dry shot is cheap as it simply sprays NO2 into the intake charge. wet is a bit different as it needs to be injected directly into the fuel rail

I would say a shop could do the bare minium at 500 bucks.... I spent 400 bucks on this kit and NX is supposed to be the best makers out there from what I have read. I also got a few extra things like RPM window switch to try and make it even more safe then it already is.
