Default Carbed nitrous LS setups

Hey guys did a search and didn't come up with exactly what I wanted. Wanting to see what everyone's nitrous setups look like as far as routing fuel and nitrous lines go along with regulators type and position in line. I'm running a stock short block 5.3 w/built non-ported 243's. I'm new to the nitrous game but this summer I'll be running a nos cheater system. I'm thinking about running the Zex perimeter plate because my plate ended up having a crack in it. I'm gonna start at 100shot and see if we can touch 180-200 before I blow it up and go forged or with a 6.0. Anyway just looking to get some ideas on routing and if you have any nitrous tips for a noobie feel free to toss those out, thanks

Whatever the kit comes with is what I use. It will have the solenoids set up wherever as far as length. A 200 shot will never blow up as long as it is tuned. I have run bottle after bottle of nitrous through cars and never had a issue until jetting exceeded the ring gap capability. That's usually above 250 shot.

Haven't used it yet on this motor but the 'noids are mounted on the wheelwell on my set-up.
Longer lines to the plate hit a little softer than a 'noid right next to the carb

Mine. Some of the lines are disconnected, but you get the idea.

That setup looks awesome but why so many nitrous solenoids on the firewall?
This is my setup currently but I think I'm going to change it to where the nitrous and engine have separate regulated fuel feeds. That's why I'm looking for pics of setups to figure out how I'm gonna hook all this junk up so it doesn't have problems. Don't judge my setup I'm still learning lol

I run a progressive controller. One solenoid pulses the other is a redundant safety that does not. The third small solenoid is a purge solenoid. The redundant safety solenoid is deemed unnecessary by many.

If you plan to run at the strip, they may hit you on the rubber fuel line. No more the 16" total in system is allowed

Scratch that I seen in peteys post there's just a distribution block. Would an AN tee fitting work for this? Also is a 6an/3/8" fuel line big enough to supply carb and nitrous? My engine runs at about 6.5-7lbs of pressure and nitrous says between 5.5-6.5lbs. For reference my fuel pump is a stock first gen s10 electric pump that puts out 12-17psi and 35gph if I remember correctly
