Default Nitrous question

I have been thinking about getting a nitrous system for a while now and I had a couple questions. I did my cam install last february and am ready for a new mod, I have the Comp Cam XE 224/230 on a 112 LSA and am wondering if it was a decent cam for nitrous. I plan on doing some Lloyd Elliot heads in the not too distant future, but am thinking about looking at a nitrous kit first. What is a good kit out there to go with and what extra parts should I look at getting eg, window switch....etc Also what shot should I look at running?
Some extra info, the motor has 92K on it at the moment and runs like a beast, just dyno'ed it before putting it away for the winter and saw 330rwhp and 340rwtq.

Thanks for the info guys

The cam, I'm not sure. You're best bet is to talk to Comp. For kit. there ar many out there to choose from. My preference is to shy away from NOS. They are still relying on the same ol' systems, whereas, everyone else is upgrading, making advances, etc. If Budget is a concern. Cold fusion is a good kit for an awesome price or look into nitrous Daves, he's got some killer sales right now--------->

What you have to find out from each seller, is where the shots are rated at ,ex. 100 shot= rwhp or fwhp. then decide wet or dry. I seriously suggest wet kit. Dry kit could be deadly without a proper fuel system. wet is just safer, to me.
As for accy's, a good box i.e., MSD 6AL, MSD window switch w/ 3k and at least 200 rpm below your rev limiter, pills. I haven't seen a whole lot of ppl running the Digital 6 and I'm planning on getting one to replace my 6AL. It has 2 rev limiter, plus a retard for n2o. If you run OVER a 100 shot, you'll want to pull 2* timing for every 50 hp shot. It would be a safe bet to pull 2* for a 100 shot though, but you don't necessarily have to pull any for a 100, but if you have the capability, use it.

I have 97 lt1 with heads and cam (306) great for nitrous and still streetable. I have a nitrous kit in the parts for sale it is a great kit for the price i am listing it for 1000.00
It includes the NOSzle Kit pn 08008 from NOS 1129.00 retail
Carbon firber bottle 509.00 retail has guage and super hi flow valve
Shipped to your door.
It is the easiest direct port system you can buy because there is no drilling, plumbing, or bending it applies right to the injectors.
The kit has never been opened i was going to put it on my lt1 but i bought and ls1 and want to make lt1 stock for gas mileage.

Extra parts i have are the NOS Fuel Pump helper 100.00 retail: 210.00
I have a nitrous progressive controller 200.00 retail: 330.00
Blow Down Tube: 20.00

Everything is brand new

Thanks
