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

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

Is there anyway you could get me a pic looking from the other direction into that fender area. I got a aeromotive 13301 bypass regulator and a holley regular regulator and trying to figure out how I'm gonna run the fuel feed off one line from the tank and still have the engine and nitrous have separate pressure regulators so my pressure is maintained throughout

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
