Part of the power nitrous provides is the huge cooling effect that is present in the air surrounding the nitrous when it phase changes from a liquid to a gas. We want this to happen at the point of entry into the intake path to cool the air charge. Not turn the plate into a snowman.
200hp and 250hp levels are pushing it on a plate. Good tuning, plenty of timing pulled, lots of plug reading can make this effective and still safe. This is the power level where a direct port really starts shining. Beyond this power level a direct port really is your only option. To the average user I would not recommend these power levels through a plate without talking with them get an idea of their tuning prowess. If someone is patient and willing to take the proper steps, we work hard to help with tune and I am confident we can get many users with decent tuning skills to be safe on the large power levels our plate is capable of.

Can you?
or
Should you?...those 2 questions have different answers
First and foremost, you should never run nitrous without tuning the car for the extra power. Would you install an agressive cam and not tune the car, or add heads and not tune the car, probably not. 50 HP is still 50 HP no matter where it comes from.
Now lets assume you are going to tune the car. Yes you can run a dry system on the LT1. On this platform you will be drastically be increasing fuel pressure to force the extra fuel through the injectors. I personaly do not like this method as the LTx fuel system was never designed for upwards of 90+ psi fuel pressure.
