I would look at the kits at DynoTune, Nitrous Outlet, and Harris Speed Works.
I used all of the above. Consider Nitrous Direct and their kits too. All are Sponsors.
You need to decide Wet or Dry (read the FAQ's in the sticky). Where you are going to put the solenoids, how you are going to plumb them etc. Then call the sponsors and see what they recommend. Be sure to tell them you are a LS1tech member, and likely the more you buy the sweeter the deal.
I downloaded all the instructions sets that I could find (NX site, NOS site, Nitrous Direct Site) to get a feel for what was involved in the install and how the components worked together.
I ended up with a DynoTune Dry kit (and Bottle accessories) and a Nitrous Outlet Plate kit. I swapped out the hoses and nozzles on the Dynotune Dry for some custom HSW Black hoses and Black NX nozzles. Very happy with my systems.
In addition to a base kit i would recommend a window switch, heater, and bottle gauge, if your going to the track you need the blowdown tube too.

from my understanding, a window switch provides a "window" on when the nitrous can spray. Say, it is set at 3,000rpm to come on and 6,000 rpm it shuts off. I hear that spraying below 3,000 is a nono. And lets say you are a 6 speed and you miss a shift, well if your rev limiter is 6,400 and your window switch cuts off the nitrous at 6,000....then you are safe because you quit spraying right before you pegged/bounced off of the rev limiter.
