Default Whats nitrous?

Just kidding guys. I actually know a little about nitrous but I figured I would ask your opinion on the matter. I would like to set my car up with some nitrous but dont know what to do. You can check out my mods below, I dont even know If my car could handle a 125 shot, thats what I would like. What I want to know is, should I wait and do hardened pushrods and valvesprings and titanium retainers, or can I go ahead and spray it. I also read a little about a "LS1 timing and nitrous controller" should I get this thing. If so how does it work, I mean I drive the car all the time so I dont want the timing to be set up for nitrous when I drive N/A and vise versa. Pretty much I'm lost someone save me before I do something dumb and get in over my head. Thanks guys.

in stock form...it can handle up to a 150shot safely as long as you have the components to run it right (injectors, fuel pump, timing tuner, fpss). on stock form, most stick with 100shot cause you'll defenitly need a fuel pump and wire kit to handle a 150 shot safely.
timing tuner enables you to run a n/a tune and it'll pull your timing when you spray...very cool product and a great investment.
nitrous controllers come in handy with traction and alot of the newer ones come with alot of cool safety features which help in stayin safe while under juice.
if ya run a search on info, you'll find ton of info on what to get to be safe.
or contact these guys www.harrispeedworks.com and they'll steer you in the right direction...they also carry alot of the safety components i mentioned along with the timing tuner. goodluck
