New To Nitrous Hey guys i have a 1998 Z28 Camaro M6. Its bone stock with a borla cat back. I want to put a nitrous kit on it and i was thinking about jetting it with a 100hp shot. Can my stock motor/block handle it safely. Keep in mind i have 170,000 miles on the car but it runs great. Also any suggestions on which affordable kit to get. And what mods do i need before the kit or can i just get it and install it now. And do i need a tune after the install. Thanks guys.

You would be alright with a 100shot on a stock bottom end. 170k is quite a few miles Might want to do a compression test and see how things stand first. I think its foolish to not get a tune when using nitrous. You need to take some timing out and keep an eye on your a/f ratio. Plenty of people have run nitrous without a tune but I wouldnt.
You can run a nitrous kit by itself but I would suggest getting a tps if it doesnt come with one and a window switch. Also get a pressure gauge whether its on your bottle or in your car to keep an eye on things.
If you dont want to get a tune. Pull 4 degrees of timing and check you plugs and go from there.

As long as the motor is sound a 100 shot be ok. The fuel pump is good for 450whp but with the mileage the pump could be a little weaker than normal. I would keep a watch on the pressure.
The window switch would be great for activation.
here is what we offer.

If the motor is sound, the LS1 will take it. The fuel pump is good to around 450 whp but with the mileage it could possibly be a little weak. I would keep an eye on the fuel pressure.
As far as timing goes, if it is bone stock you might be able to get away with on timing pulled but i would not chance it. I would pull the timing then work timing back checking new plugs every time you add some timing.
Window switch wise this is what we offer. Window switcher are great to have for a number of reasons. They can help you from spraying to low in the rpm and keep for from spraying on the fuel cut on the upper end of the RPM. If you were to do both of these it can cause a nitrous backfire.
