Default running NX on F23A1

yes, I've searched but some of my questions werent answered...

I have a 2000 LX 5spd with AEM CAI, DC ceramic header, and APEXi WS cat back... I just recently acquired an NX "STAGE ONE" EFI SINGLE NOZZLE SYSTEM (35-50-75 h.p)... from research on their site they state:

"It requires no engine disassembly, no fuel system modifications or timing retards. Simply install the "Shark" nozzle in the intake tract approximately 2-6 inches in front of the throttle body and connect the fuel solenoid to the high-pressure side of the injection rail and your ready to go."

I would like to run the largest shot (75) but will start with the lower 50shot first so I get used to it... I know most of you running nitrous recommend such things as colder spark plugs, and retarding by 2 degrees, but am I safe w/o doing that since their site says so?

I dont mind getting colder plugs since that's not expensive.. but what will I need to retard my ignition?

and what precautions/differences should be aware of when using 75 vs 50? higher octane?

thank you in advance for your "positive" advice....

I highly suggest doing all those.

put in colder plugs, preferably ones with short ground straps, like the zex or i think bosch makes them.

retard the timing by about 2-4 degrees, you can find out how here:

and always use the highest octane fuel you can get in your area.

Colder spark plugs, and retarded timing is a must. A tranny cooler would also be very useful. They sell for pretty cheap.

This doesnt work for OBD2 (which a f23a1 is).

i ran a 50 shot on the f23 when i had it in my 98 coupe, dropped my time from a 17.0 to 15.7. all i added in addition to the Nitrous kit was a fpr and colder plugs, i used ngk v-powers with a 7 heat range. ran fine without any problems, i wouldnt recommend pushing more than a 50 on a stock f23, i know a couple people that have blown their motors from spraying 75's. but hey, not everyone has the kinda bad luck they had so if you want to try it good luck!

Easy as pie. Not much you have to do to install an FPR.
