Nitrous
Thinking about a nitrous kit and would like to hear some thoughts about it.
My car is an 88 L98, with the following mods. Open air box, K & N, Throttle body bypass, Air Foil, AFPR. Brodix heads, Harland Sharp 1.6 roller rockers, Lingenfelter cam, Superram, Melrose exhaust system, long tube headers, 3" high flow cats, LT1 mufflers. ZR1 rims 17 x 9.5 front with 275's and 17 x 11 rear with 315's Also, its an auto with a 2800 stall converter.
Motor only has 58,000 miles, I'm considering a 125 shot. Any thoughts.

Sounds like a great idea. Some people may (read : WILL ) tell you that nitrous on a super ram is a bad idea, unless it's a fogger kit plumbed into each individual runner.
I myself have a TNT 150 wet shot on mine with a plate and nozzle system that required some fabrication angling the nozzles for hood clearance.
Now, I did have an issue the once and the nitrous backfired totally wrecking my MAF sensor (it was a hollow tube afterwards with no wires present) but that was my own fault. I jammed third gear (shifter issue) and didn't have a purge installed at the time.
That being said, a purge kit is a must, as well as some safety equipment like window switches if you wish. I personally dont' have a safety switch (yet) and no more issues.
Go nitrous, you'll love it.
