Default NOS - Please help!!!

I have a 2000GT 5 speed and was considering putting nos kit in my stang.

I just had a few questions and was wondering if anyone could help.

1. Which is the best kit to go with?
2. What is the highest shot I can get?
3. Do I (Should I) do anything to prevent my engine from being destroyed? The current mods to the engine on my stang are:

K&N filtercharger
75mm T-Body
3.73 gears
5.0 shifter
pulleys

Any help that I get will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Gerry

Here are a few things:

1. Everyone has an opinion on the best kit but we like Nitrous Express - kits are safer than many and engineered very well.
2. You can get more shot than your car can handle. Most kits will go up to 150 but we recommend staying at 100 (you can go higher but will need to add a timing adjuster to retard your timing and will want to add cooler spark plugs).
3. With a 100 shot, if you want to be conservative, you could go with a timing adjuster and retard the timing 2 degrees from factory (NX says this is not necessary but just in case).

BTW, your gearing is perfect for nitrous - 4.10s are generally a bit much.

Thanks again,

That 75mm throttle body is costing you big power. It is an over kill and is slowing the air velocity. Even with the nitrous a 70mm would be too big with out the appropriate exhaust work. I'm not flaming you I'm just trying to help a fellow stanger out.
