150 shot on 100% stock 2000 ls1? I have been contemplating for QUITE a while on doing a nitrous setup. I just had my stock fuel pump replaced, and absolutely everything else is stock still. They ONLY thing I've done to the car that isn't performance related is switching out to the LS6 valley cover, and have an ss hood on the car. Now, my question is, will the stock fuel pump and injectors handle a 150 shot on a stock 2000 ls1?

You MIGHT be okay on the stock pump but I would advise you to upgrade to a racetronix kit. Your injectors will depend on what kind of kit you buy. If you want to run a dry kit your stock fuel injectors will not be able to keep up. A wet kit pulls fuel from the rail so your injector size is almost irrelevant so long as it is getting enough fuel on motor.

The question was about the stock fuel pump and injectors handling a 150 shot. The majority answer is YES, he'll handle it fine. But its as large as he should go without upgrading. Of course he should change plugs and pull timing. And if he wants upgrade his pump, but again... he has enough for 150, its been proven time and time again.

So everyone and their brother who puts 100-150 on a stock ls1 has gotten lucky?

Why are you guys destroying this thread for the op?
I recommend a wet kit. Nitrous can be safe but requires you to pay attention to details. Install colder plugs, remove a little timing and you should be fine. I have seen stock bottom ends holding that size spray for many seasons. I would ask though - why not install headers and basic bolt-ons first then upgrade the fuel pump then spray? That seems to be the typical order. I'm not knocking, just asking.

I'm in the same boat as the OP.My car (sig) came with a nicely integrated and button controlled dry setup, which is supposedly a 175 shot. Car has 49k miles and the motor and fuel system are otherwise 100% bone stock.Previous owner didn't know much about it and claimed he never used it--he didn't even know what the two switches next to the fire button did; I'm assuming one is purge and maybe the other is for a bottle warmer? Should I have any concerns about using it? Since I don't know **** about nitrous setups, should I bring it to a local shop and have them inspect all the wiring, solenoids, lines, etc?

Stock injectors can work with a dry kit if you use a stand alone fuel system. The kit I have came off a friends car so I've seen it in action many times. He was spraying 250 when he took it off with a stock bottom end. The kit has a Timing Tuner to pull timing and a stand alone fuel system.
