Nitrous + fueling - Some questions
So I have a '17 Camaro but I'm posting on CF as you folks have had 2 extra years with the LT1 engine and it seems Camaro6 hasn't really done many threads etc with nitrous...
Here's my plan...
I don't really want to do forced induction as the car is a 1LE and I'm looking to HPDE it pretty often. As such, I'd like a linear style powerband without instant-onset torque... so therefore I'd like a heads/cam setup
However I will also occasionally do 1/4-1/3 mile events. So I'd like an extra bit of punch... You can see where this is going.
So I figure with the head/cam setup the car *should* make at least 550whp with E85... I'd like to put a 150shot on top...
What fueling will I need to handle 700-750whp I'll be getting out of the car?

You're definitely in the ballpark on your power predictions. I started out heads, cam, longtubes, ported intake and E85 and was sitting at 550rwhp. I later added a supercharger and meth and it provides a linear power band sitting at 750rwhp. This obviously may not be the best for your HPDE events and overheating though. The heads/cam still pulled like a freight train.
You may want to contact a few vendors directly that have experience with the setup you're looking for. Cordes out west, or Vengeance Racing or WeaponX in the Midwest.

Let me know if you'd like to setup a package!
This was before we shaved the manifold lettering, but you get the idea with the direct port lines and MSD manifold

Your best bet would be to do one of our heads/cam packages and overdrive the stock LT1 pump. I do this on my LT1 427 and it makes 612whp on motor with the proper necessities and then run a fuel cell in the cubby in the hatch with a direct port, so you have Q16 spraying with that and you can run E85 regularly

You're saying I can do the fuel lobe upgrade on the cam, and then just a standalone fuel cell and pump and no other fuel mods are needed (IE not LT4 pump/injector swap) ?

This is our new C7 Dedicated Fuel System. It fits nicely down into the rear cubby hole. Let me know if you have any questions.

Any issue with straight M1 methanol in that tank?
I'd like to use that for a meth kit...

Looks great - As I said in the OP, I have a 6th Gen Camaro ('17 1LE) - Any likelihood you'll make a tank/system for them?
