How much of a hit and what kit to go with? Given my mods what would be the MOST anyone would recommend me installing on my car? I am a newbie to nitrous so suggestions are appreciated as to kit choice as well (Dry/wet)(Manufacture,though NX looks like a great choice).TIA Craig

my buddy is running almost that exact same set-up. same cam, same headers, same y-pipe, and ported throttle body. the only thing you have that he doesnt is the LS6 intake. but anyway, he is running a 125 hp shot, with an NX wet kit, and 2 degrees of pulled timing on spray. . but i would not recommend you spray that much without having your timing retarded about 2 degrees, a bigger fuel pump, and since you an M6 a window switch. Also dont forget to throw in same NGK-TR6 plugs gapped at about.038.
i'd say get a pump, some tr6s, and have her tuned on a 100 shot and later if you get the fungs get a timing tuner to retard the timing on spray and than maybe the 150 but your bottom end may or may not last forever.

Thanks for the great suggestions, I was worried about the bottom end since i am already at 390RWHP so thanks for bringing that up Slow Trap.482rwhp, and 497rwtq. << Nice #'s on your friends car Blk97WS6.I wonder what kind of 1/4 mile times that equates to?
he should be able to run mid-low 11's all day long, hes got a 12-bolt so he can launch it pretty hard. he made a pass before the nitrous and ran an 12.3, so you figure about .8-1.0 off of that time on nitrous.

btw your bottom end should be fine with a 125 shot. that would be putting you around 500 rwhp/tq, our bottom ends can handle that no problem. once you start getting in the 550-600 range then you should start to worry. but there are PLENTY of people on this site pushing around and even over 500 hp/tq with the stock bottem end, whether it be from a big heads/cam, nitrous, or turbo/supercharger.

I have the same TR 224 cam. I dont have the ls6 manifold or headers and I am spraying a 125 wet shot. I actually got a 132 rwhp with the spray. My numbers are 334rwhp and 335 rwtq all motor. With the sauce 466 rwhp and 530 rwtq. My bottom end has 93k on it.

Wholy smokes! Boy do i need to get NOS quick! 
I still only have 33,000 miles on my car. I cant imagine what my #'s will be like with a 150 shot 
I am going to get this kit > Nitrous Express NX GM EFI RACE (100-150-200-250HP) SINGLE NOZZLE WITH 10 LB. BOTTLE
CODE: NX-20118-10 and get a mallory window box along with all the safety stuff.
