Considering adding a 100-shot My friend is considering buying a Procharger for his Vette. This puts me about 50-100hp behind him, so I'm thinking that a Nitrous Kit is the answer, but I have some concerns...
1. How much can the bottom end of an LS1 take? I just did a H/C/I swap (5.3L Heads, Torquer V.2 Cam, and FAST 90/90 Intake), so I'm already around 450hp once I get my exhaust and tune done, and with a 100-shot, I'll obviously be upwards of 500rwhp.
2. I'm slightly scared of a nitrous backfire, so I will be installing the Burst Panels on my FAST 90. What are the necessary safety features you guys would recommend for a guy who has never used nitrous before?
3. Any particular kits you guys are fond of for the LS1? I was looking at the ZEX Kit that is made specifically for the FAST Intake, because of its stealthiness.
Thanks guys.

1. I would consider rod bolts for safety. Other than that they are pretty strong.
2. With a properly set up kit and a good tune, You shouldn't have any problems. Minimal safety would be plugs, fuel pump, some type of electronics to monitor your a/f.
3. Check out Nitro daves new f body specific plate kit, it's pretty tite. Also HSW has good products as well.
