Default Edelbrock Dry nitrous for lt-1

Looking at buying a edelbrock dry nitrous kit for my 383 lt-1. liked the looks of the edelbrock system for the money. It appears to be one of the more powerful dry kits on the market. rated up to 150hp on lt-1. Got a chance to buy this kit cheap. Any suggestions?

well im planning on starting off with it at 50-75 shot. My tuner told me I could run a 75shot without touching the timing. This is because he tuned it this way. Also I have 44lb injectors walbrough 255 pump. So if i blow it through the maf my fuel system should be adequate to support the nos. I dont think im gonna run 150 shot anytime soon. Just want a little bump to push me over 500whp.

I found it on e-bay last night before I started this thread. The guy had it listed at 499 buy it now or make offer. I offered him 350 he took it. It was a customer return, bought wrong kit. It was guranteed to be brand new not used though...
