Default cheapest and easiest direct port

once i get the new motor finished i'm gonna be ready to throw some serious nitrous at it. i was figuring on one of the TNT powerring kits that works from 100 to 400 i think??? but lately i've started considering direct port. what is the easiest direct port kit? i don't want to bend the lines and all that stuff, what's the best direct port for me?

how much does the NOS setup run? if it's to high i may just go with something like i had planned before. i like direct port because i can put on the 6.0 engine covers and it's basically hidden.

DP Foggers are not cheap if they are built correctly. The NOS Nozzle system is about $1500ish and then plan on spending about another $900 for a good fuel system( pump, filter, regulator, lines, fittings, guages, fuel cell, etc... ). I still question the Nozzle system's ability to deliver fuel and nitrous at the 300hp level with its port size.

I think I remembor reading someone using like 350 or somthing with the Noszle. Not shure though.

Reckless, if I had the extra cash, I would buy your setup, bronze it, and hang it on my wall. LOL I just cant afford the bronzing rite now. hehe

I'll try to find that artical and get back to this post for yaz all.

reckless...if your nitrous setup was on a truck intake manifold i'd be all over it, but since i can't use the manifold you have it's not really an option.

How do they differ? I know the block and heads are the same, but what is different?

you havn't seen the truck intake manifold? they are identical really...but different at the same time. they are interchangable but the truck manifold is probably 4" taller than the LS1/6 manifold. i could run the LS1/6 manifold but i'd have to go with an F-body waterpump and it would cause some clearance problems.
