Nitrous Install, Easiest Wet system to do
I am currently getting ready, and I want a WET system. I see that TNT makes a nice plate wet system, NOS makes a dry system, and Nitrous express has a wet with nozzle system. I am looking at ease of install, 125-150hp, no major mods to install. and reliability

I am installing a Nitrous Works (Barry Grant) system in my 90 L98 vette.The instructions suck and my package did not contain what it should have--a few bolts and gaskets). Looks good though, similar to Holleys. . I am getting help from CF member skateparkdave, who has an excellent series of posts with great pics of his install. Check out in the FI?Nitrous section.

As dock351 stated, I just recently completed my install of the Barry Grant Nitrous Works kit #13015 wet plate system. It comes with jets for 50hp, 80hp, and 125hp shots. The install was fairly easy but did require some improvision and some stuff that did'nt come with kit.
Here's the thread that dock spoke of over in C4 FI/Nitrous with pics of what I did if you would like to click it and see..

This proves to those who didn't approve of my posting about the nitrous install in all the C4 areas that it may have been a help to some who dont make it to all areas.
Anyway steve40th, go check it out and if you have any questions feel free to ask.

I currently run a TNT dual bottle system. If I did it all over again, I'd go with the Noszle direct port setup from NOS and probably NX components for the remainder.
The TNT plate setup sucks...

Another thing to think of is the systems are run for factory size T Bodies, when they are a plate system. Mine is 58mm, so a nozzle set up may be the way to go.

You'll definitely have an issue with the plate and your TB bores. The TNT plate system was setup for the F-Body, not the Vette. I have scores on the underside of my hood from the first time I closed it while checking clearance of the N20 lines running to the plate.
If you go to a NOS Noszle, everything will be hidden under the fuel rail covers.

I just relized you have an LT1. You wont want the kit I got for my L98 thats in the pics on my thread. If you want to go barry grant you'll need kit #13070 for the Lt1 pictured here along with the ls1 kit.

I havent installed nitrous on the vette but I'm partial to NX systems.
A couple of good websites.
www.nitroussupply.com
www.nitrousdirect.com
www.dynotune.com
If you get a good aftermarket switch panel the electrical hookup is even easyer. (they have some really nice ones that fit in the LT1 vette's cupholder)

I'm running a holley wet NOS system on my '85. Only took about 4-5 hours to install - and most of that was wiring. You'll have to wire in the relay, WOT switch, cockpit switch...I also wired in a purge and bottle heater. The actual mechanical parts (NOS line, fuel line & solenoids + throttle plate) only take about 30-35 minutes to assemble and bolt on.

Well I think he wants a for real nitrous kit on his LT1 not a toy.
The Barry Grant system is the easy system ,and the cleanest install.
You want a real shot of nitrous. I see 125 or more not 35 ,50,75.
You will be happy with barry grant BUT! don't buy the purge ,use the NX purge a much better system.
Just my o2 ,I do run both systems.
If you don't want to believe me ask Skateparkdave.
