i dont think you really need anything for a 50shot, i would suggest some gauges to keep an eye on things.

I agree, but I would consider buying a fuel pressure regulator though so you can bump your fuel pressure up a little, I believe with that, it is also safe to go 75 shot occasionally on the track.

you mite want to get a flywheel and a clutch to. after a while your stock ones will give if you use it to much. if your just gonna use it just a few times a month i recommened a/f gauge, nitrous gauge and oil pressure or any other gauge and a flywheel and clutch. just to be safe.

you dont NEED anything to run a 35 or even a 50 shot. you can bolt it on to your completely unmodified engine, i would get a nitrous gauge at the least and youll eventually have to replace the clutch
