Default nitrous outlet

Ok so I was browsing the nitrous outlet website how do I know which setup is best for me?
I am building my motor around nitrous Max HP/tq I want to achieve is 550 rw.
Is nitrous a lot more complicating then running a Turbo or supercharger? Which one turns out to be the most expensive route?

Thanks for the help

http://www.nitrousoutlet.com/catalog...=14&section=37

scroll down to the LT1 section on there I think thats what your wanting wet kit is the way to go i always thought it adds extra fuel and we all know you don't want to run N20 Lean or crazy things happen and you end up like a mustang on the side of the road 0__0

I think if you are going for BIG power builds, they all end up costing. But, nitrous seems to be very popular, and can be done on a budget. As for the turbo route, I love it, but LT1s do not enjoy boost if they are not built to handle it. I am sure if you give Nitrous Outlet a call, they will set you up with the right set-up. Those guys are great from that company.

I would say for what you are wanting a mild heads cam build with a 150 shot would be much cheaper and easier than boost...

Exactly what all of you say. I'm doing it all at once since my grandparents are buying me the kit . I decided to go the nitrous outlet route. Since I don't have to worry about buying it only thing I have to worry about is the engine build.
AI. WOULD BE able to help me out with a H/c/I package right?
is nitrous an easy way for me to reach my goals or are they unrealistic?

500 at the wheels is easy through an M6 with heads/cam and spray. you could do that with a stock bottom end. call up AI and get a heads/cam package and hit it with a 150 shot. just make sure your clutch and rear are up to the task

The clutch is definitely not up for the task stupid **** sucks no one should buy an unknown brand lesson learned but I did order my Comp clutch can't wait. And my rear end from what I hear is a POS. I'm looking around for a 12 bolt but I can't find anything under 2k

Can my stock bottom end handle it? I don't want a ticking time bomb.

For all you m6 guys do you spraying off the launch or once you're rolling, also what about when you shift, do you have a timer that stops the spray during shifts?

I have a progressive controller that has a window switch and a delay to bring on the nitrous depending on how I set it. I also have it wired to my 2 step so When im on the 2 step the nitrous is unarmed as soon as I let off the 2 step the nitrous is armed.
