Go with the wet Nitro Outlet Plate set up or the NX! Best on the market.

You are correct about the LTx PCM not being able to handle MAF based dry kits.

LT1 dry kits are designed to spray behind the MAF, then they increase the fuel pressure at the regulator to add the extra fuel.

For LTx cars I would run a wet kit.

I would not run a nitrous kit without a window switch.

It prevents low rpm activation and will shut the nitrous off in an "over-rev" situation. This can be caused from tranny/clutch slippage, drive line breakage, miss shift, etc. You can also use a window switch to shut the nitrous off in between shifts to save transmission wear also.
