Well, as long as your motor is in good running shape & your fuel system is up to par, a 100 shot will be fine. Just get some colder plugs first.

Also make sure the kit will work on a LS1. You don't wanna start piecing it together to make it work.

As long as you don't have any internal motor mods then you should be fine with a 100shot. Just like big mike said you will need to go to a colder spark plug ( NGK TR6's Stock #4177 ).

Yes like was stated a 100hp shot is a cake walk. Then later when your ready, you could even increase the hp amount and safely. Just get it tuned for a/f, knock retard, and inj DC if going dry, for ultimate safety. Spray away, you'll love it, and nitrous is safer than it's ever been. Also, use all the safety add-ons.
