Default Going NOS....

Looking to put Nitrous in the LS1. What's the best kit out there, performance, most economical to attain 100HP.
Like to have the kit hidden,out of sight. Just need it for "emergencies"

TIA

Maybe you should try the NOS kit...

Contact Dave at Nitrous Outlet and ask him about the money maker kit.

(lots n lots of info on LS1tech nitrous section, but PLEASE don't call it NOS. That's a brand name and you'll be burned at the stake for using it as a generic term)

Hi...Where did they install the nozzle? In the bellows area of the intake or did they plumb it in somewhere else?

Talk to HSW or one of the other sponsored vendors here and look into a plate kit. They're easy to install and easy to dial in. (wet system).
If you're really serious and plan on tracking it alot, I'd suggest going to a dry system... although you'll find TONS of argument on both sides of that coin

Go with a plate kit if anything. HSW & Nitrous express are having Christmas sales going on right now & its 15-20% off for a kit. (great deal). If going dry you will need to upgrade your injectors. Get the accessory kit also and save the hassel of wiring things up later.

Tons and tons of info and insight concerning nitrous and the Corvette on my web site which has just gone through a major overhaul. It also has a working web store now, however, the kits are not back on it yet, a lot of work. Also, a great C5/C6 nitrous install how-to based on the HSW Dry plate, but most info can apply to any kit.

IMO, nozzle kits are dated technology wet or dry, and better to go with a plate kit. I added numerous install videos in my video section for insight, I don't necessarily back any of them but thought it would be good general information. Myself, I am a fan of the latest dry technology, it's easier to self tune, and self contained for timing pull and fueling if using the Interface in the dry plate kit. then the safety factor gives a slight edge to the dry tech. The best thing you can do is read, read read, and then you can make an informed choice on what fits you best.

Let me know if I can help in any way, and your not required to buy anything to get that offer. By the way guys, as far as I know, I am the one and only dedicated nitrous vendor on the site, as HSW has left. I may not be here much longer either, at least as a vendor.

The corvette guys tend to have deeper pockets so you see more turbo and supercharger threads. I have a wet kit and there is good info here if you use the search. Also try LS1tech for more nitrous info.

true, the guys with limited cash are doing nitrous, however, the guys with deep pockets always have money so turbos/blowers are always hot.

Thankyou very much for the support. That is all it takes for me is someone saying thank you.
