Call up Nitrous Outlet and have a chat with them about your goals. They are familiar with LT1s and can steer you towards the right parts.

Since you are an F-body, you have quite a few fuel pumps to choose from, so choose wisely. There a 1 or 2 out there that are garbage.

As for a 150 shot and the mods you have, low 11's should be easily attainable.

I agree with above, Nitrous Outlet is great stuff. But don't be afraid to shop around. But safety is the #1 concern, so invest in 3 more things:
Timing retard of some sort, i.e MSD dig 6
Window switch digital or analog
Fuel pressure safety switch (FPSS)

I agree. I am running a Harris Speedworks nozzle with a 175 shot and running 3 heat range colder plugs NGK B8EFS gapped at .035 and taking out 3 degrees per 50 shot and the new WALBRO A400 good to 800 HP but also running VP 110 with the nitrous..

There are plenty of people that will tell you that you can run a 150 shot all day long on a stock LT1 shortblock. This was going to be my route this year until about 4 days ago when I decided to pull my engine and add forged internals. Even with every single precaution taken, some people go a couple years on a 150 shot. But for everyone running a regular 150 shot on a stock shortblock, there is someone who destroyed some pistons or blew out some rings.

Just something to think about. Maybe keep the shot small until you can afford to go all in.
