well I'm running a Cold Fusion Nitrous wet system. There are many great nitrous companies out there, like NOS, NX, Harris, Dyno Tune, Nitro Dave's, Zex, and many more.
It all come down to what you want, plate, nozzel, and direct port. As far has how much spray your LME 408 can handle. You may want to give Bryan a call at LME an talk with your builder. It all comes down to what crank, rods, pistons, and RING they used in the build-up.

Well put bro and I would say go with a plate set up if you are not going to go to crazy.. They are good for like a 200 shot and if you plan on going higher then that I would look into a Direct port set up... I am going for a Plate set up on my 438 LS7 build so I think that would be good enough for you.

As people have stated before, it sounds like a plate kit is right up your alley at this point.

Our plate kits will easily handle up to a 200 shot and can go well over that if needed. we offer a complete package that includes everything you need to run the kit safely and get the expected performance out of the kit.

http://www.nitrousoutlet.com/catalog...roduct_id=2794

The link is to a 78mm plate, but it would be the same price for any of the LSx plates we have in stock. 78mm, 85mm, 90mm, 92mm, and 100mm.

Nitro Dave has good kits, can't go wrong with his products. Won't be breaking the bank, either. I'm partial to NX but i have direct port. If you think you'll be spraying over 200 down the road (if you keep stepping it up) then I would go ahead with a DP system and be done with it. Do it right the first time, then all you have to do is change the pills to the size shot you want. Your choice. If you want to save some $ and dont think you'll spray more than 200 just get a plate kit. If you want the ability to eventually spray bigger, DP is the way to go.

More than likely you're fueling is going to dictate the shot size since you don't want to go with a standalone. I would also call your engine builder to discuss the piston and ring selection that they used as this will also be a determining factor. If you have any questions please let me know! Thanks!
