Default 383 supercharged + spray??

I curently habe a 383 lt1 with all forged internals. im putting down 17lbs of boost and making about 600rwhp. I was thing about adding some nitrous. Any suggestions if it would be safe or even how much to spray???

can you up the boost and still keep it streetable? I'd rather have the power instantly and all the time than have to buy/refill nitrous...

I agree that 600rwhp seems sort of low for 17psi. I would sooner spend money on the heads, power will come up while boost numbers come down which will be easier on the crank snout as well.
