Default Questions About NOS

This may sound funny, but I took my mom out to the speedway last night for her birthday, and I think shes addicted. Shes now saying she wants to create a sleeper car for use on the track, just for fun. My question is, shes probably going to buy an older 80's model import that no one would expect to be fast.. if she Buys a NOS Kit, what are some of the things recommended to upgrade thats inexpensive for her to run low shot of nos? Ive never used NOS before, and none of the people I know personally have either, so I dont know much about it.

She wants me to work for what I want.. Not trying to be rude, but please dont post anything unless your trying to help me with the question I asked.. I think you would know how that is, since you are one of the older mature people on this board who probably gets annoyed at useless replies to your topics. Thanks.. now, do you know what all I will need to upgrade in the car she buys?

Depends on the car and how much nitrous you intend on spraying.

LOL.. knowing her, when she says a "nasty sleeper" its probably going to be like a 1978 Honda Or something... and I dunno, how about a 50 shot? Just in General.. what all should I do to the car so that it will handle minimal amount of nos?

Oh, thats cool. She said 50 shot.. But Its still a good idea if I replace all the gaskets, put a performance fuel pump and bigger injectors right?

A lot of things matter. Carb or EFI? Wet or Dry kit? What's a fast sleeper 12's,13's,14's,15's? For 70's imports I'd go for a rotary.
