you want to start filling up with higher octane and get spark plugs 2 steps colder. thats all that you need for a small shot.

Well before you jump right in to the whole nitrous thing, I would highly recommend reading up on it first. Spend some time searching and reading old posts maybe buy a book or two to read. Nitrous kind of has a bad wrap for " blowing motors" but honestly majority of it is mostly user err. If you use it in moderation and set everything up properly you shouldn't have a problem. I blew mine up mainly because I got greedy, but I wont get into that now.

If you plan on running a small shot ei under 75 you should be fine with premium fuel and 1 step colder plugs, and stay away from platinum plugs as thats a big no no with the nitrous. Other than that I would recommend A general tune up, compression test to make sure the motor is running at tip top shape before installing a kit on the car.

I could go on and on but I'll just give you some links for you to look at for now. If you have any questions feel free to ask or send me a pm and I'll do what I can to help you out.

I would also suggest you makre sure your fuel pressure is up to par as well, at least 43psi. If you want, you can just get a walbro 255 or an MSD inline. A nitrous rev limiter is a good idea. If you are going with a 75 shot, you also might wanna think of using an MSD DIS2 and retard the timing 2 degrees. Tho the timing retard is still up in the air, some think you need it others don't. Its more of a safety precaution than anything. HP tuners would help as well.

codler plugs are refering to the heat ranges. they are usually made out of copper. well the core is anyway. most use NGK TR6 plugs, Autolite 103, and some even have luck with stock srt-4 plugs
