Default How much nitrous?

I was looking at putting on a Zex nitrous wet kit this summer. I was wondering how big of a shot an LS1 could take. I don't think I would really want anything bigger than 125. All my mods are in my sig. Does anyone think the transmission will go? car has around 56,000 miles, it's been down the track around 8 times.

You'll be fine up to a 125 shot. I would suggest picking up a window switch along with a set of colder spark plugs (NGK TR6s) when you get your nitrous kit.

Dont Spray off the line and your tranny will hold up . I dont see in your Mods you have a Fuel PUMP get one of them. BTW you can get a 150 Jet for Zex And your LS1 will still LOve you

I already have the TR6 spark plugs installed along w/ Taylor thunder volt wires. If I shouldn't get the Zex kit, then what would you suggest? I like the Zex kit because it activates under WOT.

That your only thing pulling you towards it? Almost ever single kit i have seen activates under WOT, not just ZEX.

All kits come with/OR should be wired for WOT. You don't want to spray at less.

You can run a 150 shot no problem on a stock motor unless you have another big mod, like a cam. I am running a 150 shot on my stock Vette and it's fine.
