For a 55 shot you will only need 1 step colder plugs. There will be a fitting on an aftermarket fuel rail (AEM) that you can run your fuel line from, or you can use the T fitting that comes in the zex kit to run your fuel from. The rest of the items aren't going to be much help for you.

One of the best things you can get for a nitrous kit is a bottle heater, that way you can always spray at a constant PSI (bottle PSI will vary a lot during different seasons depending on the temperature).

Yep, get a bottle heater, purge kit, and a pressure guage. I have been able to spray a 70 shot from my NOS dry kit without retarding the timing. I beleive that this is do to the two step colder plugs and 93+ octane fuel we have here in Ohio.

The DynoTune heater is pressure controlled instead of temperature. Works excellent.

That was an unfortunate situation. I don't have the link but the burst disk failed to go off. All nitrous bottles have a burst disk that is supposed to relieve the pressure in the bottle to prevent the bottle from bursting. Unfortunately it didn't work for this man.

On a side note I highly suggest wiring in your bottle heater to an accessory power source. This way you can't leave it on all night. The bottle pressure solenoid is useless if you have the bottle close and leave it on all night.
