Default Quick question regarding nitrous upgrade

I know how nitrous works, just not all the tricks of the trade. So here is my question, the nitrous kit I'm gonna order is 50-175, now let's say down the road if I wanted to make it bigger how do you go about doing so? Do I get the correct 200-250 jets and double up on the solenoids? I did use the search bar and looked all over on Google but couldn't find anything. My car is a 98 z stock bottom end, I will be running the Lcn-2000, don't really care if she implodes as I can just rebuild or replace so any help on this would be appreciated thanks guys

You won't need to get more solenoids but bigger ones would probably be needed. Along with bigger main nitrous feed line. Also, you will want to run a colder spark plug like a br7. What kind of system are you running,Wet or dry?

I recommend reading the info in this thread.

I've been reading through that, however I do not have the kit yet, I'll be going with the ls1 zex blackout 50-175 kit. I was just curious when later down the road what it would take. By bigger feed you mean for the nitrous? Of both fuel and nitrous? -6an?

Normally with a nozzle system, you can make the line from the solenoid to nozzle bigger, and it will flow 250hp. So you need bigger jets and a line. That is normally how it goes, assuming their solenoids will flow decent.
