Who has run nitrous on these ls4 powered cars. Honestly i have never used nitrous before. However i think for my me this would be the easiest way to lower my quarter mile times. Which kits, NOS, ZEX, etc. things to look out for.

I run a NX wet kit on mine. I have sprayed as much as 150hp, but I run around now with a 100hp shot. I am in the works of having heads, cam, and custom headers installed.

Yes, Custom made headers for a LS4. I have a set that I used for my 2000 GTP that are going to be used for mock up. Then once I get the heads we can check for clearance issues.

Well, according to this guy, nitrous can't be done right, and neither can headers. He knows, he's had both. Yep, you read that right. He claims to have had 3 sets of headers made for his LS4. You may remember him. He's the tool who posted the dyno sheet a few days ago, then deleted his thread when he didn't like the scrutiny he was getting. If you want a good laugh, read the whole thread, especially page 3.

I have a bottle, remote bottle opener, guages etc. on sale for 150.00 in the classif. section. I've lowered the asking price to 150.00 including shipping and it will work on our cars. I took it off my GTO though.

Headers can work for this car, but they will be the same design as the SLP/TOG ones for the L67/L32 motors.

Not sure if our trans could hold up to that kind of abuse, maybe a progressive shot?
