Hmmm never heard if it called "GAS" before...but oh well.

Id say you get a TNT F1 Kit ( i can sell you one for $550 new). Then get a MSD Rpm activated switch $70-90 bucks. Make sure its WOT switch operated.

If you have a chance spray it the first time on the dyno and tune it on there.

If after reading that you still have more questions maybe you should be a little more specific about what exactly it is you want to know.

Dont get greedy! Stay with 75-100hp I would get a window switch and a fpss too.
On the ls1 I prefer wet. Both NX and TNT are great choices for that.
If you go the dry route try TNT or NOS.

I have always called it "GAS"
"spray"
"juice" that is Old school

I would spray coming into second gear
espcially with a M6, your rear end will live longer

window switch would be nice but not needed if you are consistent driver"dont want to hit the rev limiter while in the GAS".
bottle heater for a more consistent bottle pressure, I believe NX has a pressure transducer
in their kit.
that sould start you off for a small shot 100-150
