order the kit it is good. the kit comes with a 55-65-75 shot jets along with the proper fuel jets. That doesnt mean you have to run a 55 shot. the jets are only around $5-$8 each. go to www.summitracing.com and order a .024 no2 jet and a .014 jet (for fuel). that's a 25hp shot. If you want a 35 shot go with a .028 no2 jet and a .015 for fuel. The edilbrock and NOS jets work in the Zex nozzle.

^^^ what he said.
Buy smaller jets. 50shot will probably be too much. The most I would recomend is 35 shot.

a 50 shot is doable without upgrading our fuel system, if you choose a wet. a 50 dry, hmmmmm, is doable with stock fuel system, but I haven't tried it again recently.

if you really want go with a 50, just make sure to follow the rules of the juice.

and get a good system ( ZEX) comes to mind.
go with 1 step colder,copper (standard) plugs
use a higher octane fuel ( read 92 plus)
monitor your exhaust temp, it can and will melt some headers ( the lifetime warranty on the dc ceramic coated header is void if you juice)
prepare to replace the cat converter sooner, and anything else that touches any part of the exhaust system.

hence i said , I wouldnt use more than 35. Hell you can use 100hp shot if you want, but prepare to replace your engine

here's some more advice, never test your nitrous out on FRIDAY THE 13th.

yea my intake manifold shattered, a rod was hanging from the core support, when i pulled over and opened my hood... I took my jacket off to put out the fire (exhaust wrap ignited). I wish i had a camera that moment, it was cool. So yea, a 100hp shot is to much.

sorry to hear that bro..
but my point exactly.. DONT run more than 35 shot on stock parts. If you build your engine, you can run more as you go, depending on what all you have done.
