May go NOS

I have a stock C5 (cat-back, intake) and kinda wanna go with nitrous. I found a deal on NOS 05177 Dry kit w/ plugs never used for a good price and its local. I don't know much about the juice. I have near 50k on the motor and she's still running strong. What do I need to know? Is dry worse? I wanna stay safe. I plan to do the install myself and run an 75-100 shot. Any advise? Should I get this kit, i'll save like 250ish.

Thanks
-Steve

As for wanting to be safe as long as you take the proper precautions (FPSS, WOT switch, Window switch, colder plugs, etc) you should be just fine. Head on over to the nitrous forum at ls1tech.com and read, read, read..All the info you need is there.......Hope this helps...

N20 is definitely going the best bang for the buck power adder. I would think that your motor would stay together provided you keep the shot reasonable (say 100) as well have all of the supporting hardware.

Good Luck,

This site has ALL the info you need.....and will answer most of your questions. I strongly urge you to bookmark it.....

And finally.....go over to ls1tech.com and troll the nitrous section there. Mostly F-body guys.....but some SERIOUS nitrous knowledge.

Good luck!
