What N2O system is C5 specific?
I noticed that many members have used the NOS 5177 system although it is not specified as a C5 system by NOS, but only Camaro/ Firebird. Why? Are there any Quality systems designed Specifically for the C5 LS1? I am looking for a full featured, totally safe 75 shot dry system for DIY installation. Wimpy but bulletproof

That is the ONLY difference......and it is specified for F-bodies because they can get a CARB approval (ie - smog legal) when used as designed. You can get around this by mounting the WOT switch under the gas pedal as most of us using that kit in C5's do.
It was a very easy install.
