a few nitrous beginner questions

[fiveohpatrol]

Some of you may remember my post about my friend that was putting a nitrous kit on his bone stock 150k slipping AOD stang.
Well we finally convinced him that he knew nothing about it and he realized after the first few sprays that he was actually afraid to use it. So he's gonna get rid of it.

He's actually going to buy a new shortblock soon and eventually have a blower.

Ok so here's where I come into the picture. He offered to give me the complete nitrous kit (nitrous express i believe) with what he was told was $700 worth of stuff, if I would help him install the new shortblock when he gets it.
It was a tough decision, but you know, I'm a good friend and I agreed

I'll probably get it within the next few weeks, and I realized that although I'm not a nitrous idiot, i do need to learn some more about it.

I know I need colder plugs, what would you reccomend?

I know I need to back the timing off, but I wont be going over 100hp jets, so would 10-12degree's btdc be ok?

I'll be buying a RPM switch (if its not in the $700 worth of stuff) just so it will shut the N20 off before the rev limiter if I happen to miss a shift

I plan on starting out with the smallest shot in the kit, and then after i get comfortable with it, then go higher.

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks guys/gals
