Default Adding nitrous

Considering adding a N20 kit. Stock bottom end, built top end with 11.3 compression. Looking for recommendations on a kit from those who have them. I make 450rwhp now with a good tune. Is there a kit that is preferred with a piggy back timing retarder? Thanks in advance.

More a personal preference. Need to decide Wet or Dry and go from there. Plate kits vs nozzle for wet or maybe even Direct Port. Dry you need to consider injectors or and/or other electronics to get the PCM to fuel.

Vendors I have success with include Nitrous Outlet (plate systems/Nozzle systems and electronics), Harris Speed Works (plate system Nozzles and electronics), and Dynotune (Plate systems/Nozzles/electronics and billet stuff).

I usually use wet systems on prior vehicles (non-corvette) so I would stick with that here. I will look into the vendors you mentioned. Thanks.
