As long as the A/f ratio is right you should be ok, but with the nitrous and a 6 speed i'd definitely get a window switch. If you really want to be on the safe side, look into k-tech rod bolts and a high volume/pressure oil pump.

and if you want to be safe, put a better fuel pump in there. heard 150 is where it starts to get dangerous

i got mine all set up, it has a FPSS and window switch, but is only jetted for 100. if your not going to upgrade the fuel pump then definately ghet the FPSS, i would anyway though. Its cheap insurance.
Make sure to get some new plugs too.
A tune is not necessary but i would recommend it. But then again i am no expert

I'd say do a 100 shot with the window switch. Then later when you can upgrade everything, oil pump, fuel, rod bolts, maybe even head studs, then do the 150 or even a 175

You can run the 150 without the listed above, BUT if you want to run it reliably and safely then get all the above. buying rod bolts is cheaper then buying rods, pistons, block, or whatever else may fail. But then again there has been people running 225 shot on a stock ls1. Give 02 blk ws6 a pm. Don't take one persons word for it, get may opinions and make your own decision

Watch out with the Hypertech. Normally the canned tune adds timing. You might have to be pulling timing with that 150 shot.

Cool, just check where your timing and Air/fuel is at. I would definitely get a window switch. Check out the HSW Microedge, very nice piece.

I agree with Caribe, pick up a Microedge(I have one, going to be installing soon), and a Racetronix plug-n-play fuel pump setup, then look into getting a good tune and you should be good to go.
