update: tommorow im installing my TDs and selling my current exhaust set up (tsp catted y, hooker cat back). just got paid today, and once i sell my exhaust ill have cash to plan around with... after doing more research ive added a few more things to the list.. heres the revised list
-39# injectors
-NX fuel accumulator
-Racetronix P&P
-NOS 2 stage mini progressive
-Bottle
-Cobalt or Carbon Fiber nitrous/fuel psi gauges
-AEM wideband
-Gauge pillar
-Adapters for injectors (their 04 cobras)
-edelbrock bottle heater
so those are really the necessary items i need so i can get it all up and running, tuned and what not..eventually ill buy a remote bottle opener and some other things i might have missed..im thinking since i already have 2 toggle switches, i might as well make my own switch panel.. but if i do buy one its definitly going to be a Nitrous outlet ashtray pannel.
my question now is what do i need for a purge? i believe krautburner left me some items.. i know i have this blue NX "Y" looking fitting which i believe is for the purge, what else?
EDIT: after kinda thinking about it i might as well be kinda cheap, and just buy a window switch/tps switch and save 70 bucks or what not..
give me some suggestions: autometer cobalt or carbon fiber gauges? my car has black gauge cluster (camaro) i cant decide!

Keep in mind that the mini progressive will also allow you to ramp your nitrous, i.e., allowing you say 50% of your 120 shot nitrous hit at 3000 rpm's and ramping your percentage up to 100% by 4000 rpm's. (Example)
I have everything you have in my Vette, wouldnt do it any other way

ive been thinking about this for a while.. if i get a progressive controller, and ease myself into a 180 shot, assuming my tune is on point, how do you think my stock shortblock will hold out?
UPDATE: few days ago sent out checks for a NX fuel accumulator, and 39# injectors off an 03 cobra.. ill get pics when they arrive.. once i get rid of my exhaust & A/C ill have more cash to play with

According to Ricky at NX, LS1's should handle 180 shot all day long, however mine could not do it as my heads have been milled down quite a bit, increasing cylinder pressure quite a bit and raising my CR up a lot. Had to rejet to 120 shot

the "Y" fitting is to split the main line to be able to run to both rails. just before the "Y" fitting, you put a purge noid.

i got a FAST 90mm.. that intake doesnt use the nozzles that connect to the injector.. i just started ordering parts: 39# injectors and an NX accumulator.. still waiting on selling my exhaust, once i get rid of that ill have more cash to drop. next is the racetronix p&p & mini progressive
only problem is i need to buy a clutch now, so thatll delay my plans for a little bit, but im thinking ill be ready to mess around in may
just in time for the nice weather.. we'll have to run em then
