looks like something less radical will have to be ordered.

I think that is a beautiful cam for Nitrous.
If you want to go a little smaller than do something like a 228/232 cam. This would like the juice as well. I would defentially stay with a 114 LSA in a auto with spray.
I myself dont think your converter is too small for this to work.
I had a 2800 stal with a 228 230 571 58x 114. Workes fine with just the 2800 verter.
I will say you would be better off doing a 3800 or a 4000.
As far as the injector's go. This is what you need to do.
If you have the money now to buy the Z06 intake I would do this, put it on at the same time you do the cam and then go have it tuned.
Tune the car on motor and get everything looking good.
On the dyno you need to hit the NOS and at the same time have a fuel pressure guage hooked up so you can make sure you have enough fuel.
If you dont then new injectors will be needed, and possibly a new fuel pump.
Very important to have enough fuel or else the N20 will cause some MAD problems.
12.2 is about as lean as most like to be while spraying.
Good luck and remember the more juice you spray on a 3500 stall the better it will work.

na its the TCS converter they wont honor the restalls or anything.No big deal.One question if I get bigger injectors will the fuel pump support them I dont see how adding injectors would help (im a newbie at this and want to get it right)without a bigger fuel pump will the stock pump make the flow better on 42s?And you say it defenitly needs the ls6 intake?
I would do the LS6 intake.
It will produce more air into the motor which will help with a big cam, or any cam for that matter.
I would also do heads, but that is just me, and I know it isn't needed.
As far as the fuel pump goes. Normally when you run out of injector you are pushing the stock fuel pump as well.
I have seen a few S/C cars that ran 37lbs Injectors and a stock pump, but have also seen a couple run out of fuel with the same injector because the fuel pump needed to be upgraded.
IMOP you wont need either.
I have a H/C can and spray a 200 wet shot.
Stock fuel everything and no problems.
I make 550+ HP. I now run a 150 shot and only lost 12 RWHP????????????????//
Fuel is still fine.

No I think the smart thing would be to put it on the dyno while tuning it and having a fuel pressure guage hooked up so you can see if you have enough fuel.
I had a wet kit until a year ago and wanted to up the spray.
Back then a 150 was as high of a pill as I could find for a dry kit.
I changed everything over.
Before I swaped to a wet kit I had a little smaller cam with the same heads and made 520 RWHP. My fuel was still fine.
I have a 98 TA.
You have to have thhis setup tuned and I am sure you will tune it on the dyno so you can see what HP and Torque you are making, plus see what your A/F is at.
You might be pulling the juice off for no reason, you will never know until you try it.
My kit was a NOS kit by the way, and I ran 10.77 with this kit just under 3 years ago.
I know what I am doing when it comes to nitrous as I have had 3+ years playing with it.
More than 100 boddles now have gone through my stock short block motor, and I have never sprayed less than 150. More than 50 11.20 or lower passes have been made. Nitrous works.................. Just have to have it setup correctly and have a little luck.
