Default I think i'm going for some nitrous

Ok, watching more and more racing I see Nitrous is commonly used it (even though I'm scared myself to use it) I have seen some cars intakes blow off their cars from that stuff. ANyways was just wonderin if it would be safe to put a whole nitrous system on a 96 LT1 Ws6, mods are in my sig. 126,000 miles and running strong.

What type of shot would I be looking at?

ANyhelp or answers would be awesome!!!!!!!

Hahahaha. Ok. Can anyone reccomend a FULL KIT. I"m taking bottle, gauges, wires, etc? I'm looking to spend 350 or so.

Someone said upgrade your fuel pump, especially with my kind of miles, well I just got the fuel pump replaced 4-5 months ago, do you think it will be ok. It's not a "performance" fuel pump, just a new stock replacement.

well for 350 you wont get much unless you get a hell of a good deal, you should check out the guys from dyno tune they will hook you up. plan on spending around 500-600 bucks for most good kits

OH so clever.

I should plan on getting a Fuel pressure gauge to keep an eye on it. Any other suggestions. I think i'll just go with a dry kit first!

wiht a dry kit and any other kind of mods you may max out your injectors. A wet kit is a far more economical route. Plus it is nice to add the correct amount of fuel for the correct amount of nitrous instead of relying on hopes and dreams (lol... well relying on the PCM) to add more fuel.

Hmmmmmmm...ok.

I heard Wet kits have seloniods and often they fail, they gget stuck open and then you lean out and blow some pistons. Is this true?

I kinda have my heart set on the HSW brute force setup with the edge. FJO controller and a NX kit is second on that list. I'm going tp spray a 250 shot.
