Question which Nitrous to run???

i have daily driven 02 SS with 54,000 miles with all the bolt ons. i have been thinking about nitrous for a little while.
*since its a daily driver do you think putting nitrous in it is a good idea?
*how reliable is nitrous?
*whats the biggest shot you would run on stock injectors, stock fuel pump, etc.
*whats the best kit i like the Nitrous Express, NOS, & Zex?
*wet or dry? ive looked for a few threads but never really answered my ? *which is safer and will have less of a chance to hurt the motor?
*i wont be shooting it alot just every now and then, but i have heard people talk about how nitrous hurts your motor even if its not that much is that true?

im sorry for all the ?'s im new to nitrous i dont really know much about it.

***one last thing if any of yall can post up or send me pics of your nitrous setup in your 98-02 Camaro i'd greatly appreciate my email is JesseClamp@comporium.net***

THANKS Hunt

1) nitrous wouldnt matter if its your daily driver b/c it only turns on when u want it to
2)nitrous is very reliable as long as it is done right (have a shop install it for you)
3) with injectors it really doesnt matter to much if your running a wet shot and i would get a fuel pump any way and run a 125 or 150 and get it tuned
4)there is no really "best" kit. i would go with harris speed works or dyno tune. they are great kits and are amazing in price.
5) i would run the wet kit if i were u

nitrous is very reliable as long as it is done right (have a shop install it for you)
Or you can read the instructions that come with the kit and read David Vizard's nitrous book (old but 90% relevant, $17) and install it yourself and save enough to buy a nice, big fuel pump and all the fittings. It's an easy job - if you can replace an intake manifold you can install a nitrous kit - a wet one for an LS1 is only a tiny bit harder to install than a dry because you have to tap into the fuel supply.

Even adding a retard box and/or a rpm window switch is easy - MSD has all that covered in their instructions.

No rocket science in nitrous - just a lot of common sense, reading of the manuals and starting by learning with a 75-100 shot is the way to go.

look at the harris speed works kit as it wont set you back all that much and youll still get a high quality product and if you get a timing tuner it also has a built in window switch so that will save you some money im going to say 800- 1000 installed with all the goodies

i payed 427 for everything with a window switch/tps wot intergrated togther with there multi gear lock out. from dyno tune -bottle heater...BADASS deals

the best way to go is with a window switch because you can set it to cut the nitrous before red line and start at a certian rpm or a certian gear shift...
