Is it going to be a wet or dry shot? I'd go with a dry shot and look into the HSW interface that seems like it would be a nice setup. I think that's what i'm going to go with.

It depends on how much timing you have in your car right now. You will more than likley have to take a couple of degrees out, unless you get a timing tuner(or somthing like that), then you can take timing out with it.

I always thought a wet shot was better on an LS1. Ive had 3 SS but this is the first one i have had H/C and just wanna do stuff right. My last one was just and auto with LT's and gears and a stall and went 11.6 on 100 wet shot.

there's ups and downs to both.. dry shot is just easier to install, and with only a 75-100 its perfectly safe.. Get a controller or timing tuner so you can pull a couple degrees when you spray and run normal timing under N/A conditions.

i had the car tuned with heads, cam, and bolt on's timing was set at 26degrees, i than installed 100shot, tuner said it wasn't going to hurt with that timing, if i go with a bigger shot than yea diffinet retared timing 4 degrees..so check it out.....i'm no expert !!!!!

With a wet shot, and a decent tuner, there should be NO change in the PCM for anything 100 shot and under given there is 93 octane in there and TR-6 plugs.
If you were to do 125 to 150, I would have some timing taken out and add a little fuel to richen it up. It doesnt hurt normal N/A power but its whats going to keep #7 piston alive.

You do not need a tune, but that does rely on a few things. First a foremost, you do want to verify your A/F ratio regardless of what type of system you are running. If you have a wideband gauge thats great, if not just have a few dyno pulls with wideband done. The biggest reason you would need a tune is if you decide to pull timing through the tune. If you do not use a device like the Ls1 timing tuner or the interface and you are running a shot larger then 150, then yes you would need some tuning work done to bring the timing down. The interface can make tuning a dry shot much much easier and depending on your injectors you can run a much larger dry shot than 100-125
here is a good current thread to help you understand why we need to pull timing and how you can actually make more horsepower on less timing with nitrous
