Just use the NGK Copper plugs, one or 2 steps colder. They're cheap and they work well w/the n2o

From what i hear dude the dry kits are WAY too dangerous. Running a danger of having an uneven about of nitrous in each cylinder plus the issue with the factory fuel pump not being able to supply the extra needed fuel, if i remember right something about our injectors or SOMETHING thats has a return feed..........meaning the extra fuel would be routed back to the tank or pump. Then that would cause ur engine to run lean (i think) and lean+nitrous-->BOOM! Long story short, me and coutless other 7thgen-ers would HIGHLY recommend a wet kit. The extra needed fuel gets mixed and atomized in the spray in your intake runners. Wet kits are a little more pricey, but would you rather spend a few extra hundred dollars or a few grand replacing your engine? If i'm wrong or too vauge about anything above then somebody please correct me. Oh, and yes, if you still do stick with the dry kit then yes, you can intall it onto your stock airbox, but most peeps would recommend on upgrading your intake.

Question

K, i got a question. I understand that with nitrous i shouldn't have any ECU upgrades or the Venom 400 or anything else that advances the ignition timing, but would other engine mods like a crank pulley, or undrive pulleys put my engine in risk?? Some insight would be very helpful

I wouldnt think so, not unless you plan on using the nitrous while they're doing their emissions test.

so will denso IK20's work and if not what spark plugs are compatible besides the copper ones. A lot of people around here say that the platinum tips or whatever are better than using copper or nickel. Does that just apply for stock cars or for cars with nitrous too??

NEVER use platinum tips with nitrous. Use ngk instead of denso for nitrous.
