dont forget though if you want edit you'll also need atap/efi and laptop to do any tuning.

Headers cam and a dyno tune for that much. Why were you going with a wet kit?

I was under the impression that a wet kit was safer than the dry, for the reason that the wet will have fuel to compensate with the N2O. I already have the laptop, I think im going to go with the nitrous and some Pacesetter LT's with a custom catted Y. Any more input is appreciated guys.

if i were u i would build up the engine more before spraying...even though the LS1 engine loooooves NOS...if i were you i would wait till after heads and cam to spray...but if u are going to spray...then the nx express wet kit is most deffinitely the way to go...nothing beats the nx coz theyre bottles are rated(from what ive heard) with hp gains to the wheels....

Get longtubes and a cam. Might come out to a little more, but you can buy them used to save a few dollars. Just my $.02




Peace,
Craig.
