it is pretty easy,just pull the carb if that is what you have,put the plate on with gaskets, run your lines for fuel and nitrous,and wire it up and rig up either a wot switch or push button. then without turning the bottle on and fuel blocked off test the solenoids and see if both are working.sometines i just don't turn the bottle on and rev it and hit it and see if the fuel solenoid is pulsing.if so it will bog that way and you could possibly foul the plugs but probably not.

Like he said^^^ it really is eazy. Especially today. Tune up is the hardest thing you will run into. Use theirs to start, and learn to read your plugs.

1 trick that I personally use when helping buddies is to put lights in line with the solenoids, so you can see if everything is running correctly. Bottles off, fuel lines plugged. Also watch your RPM, when the retard comes on you should see it. When everything is firing the way it should, hit the track! ! !

Same comments as above. Make sure the wiring is done neatly and right with good switches and connectors, consider adding a fuel pressure gauge if you don't have one to monitor the pressure as you spray downtrack. Below 4-1/2 lbs, lift off the spray!

Tuning can also be a big issue, although many companies set their kits up a little rich to be on the safe side.

Good luck!
