Default Would this kit work?

ok well i got a 84 with crossfire. i pretty much rebuilt the top end of the motor and was thinking of trying a nitrous kit. i knwo it can be done because ive been talkin to jrwood who is tryin to sell his 84 that has a kit on it. his is a NOS kit that is discontinued but i found a kit from nitrous direct that looks like it will work.

so what do you guys think?

It probably would work, but I am willing to bet that the kit shown is for a later model Corvette with port fuel injection. What this means is that the fuel jets are sized based on a high pressure 55 PSI fuel system that is for the new LSx engines. If you purchase that system you will need to call the manufacturer up and get larger fuel jets that is properly sized for the low (12 PSI) pressure TBI system that you have. If you attempt to use the kit as is, you may lean the engine out and cause a major failure of internal components such as frying pistons.

His kit was NOS #5125. I think he said they don't make it anymore.
