Best complete C5 nitrous kit?
I'm looking for a kit for my 2004 Z06 that has an LS3 based 416 in it and would like a dual bottle setup that's in the trunk and removable with a window/rpm switch, bottle heater, dual gauge for pillar pod, control panel (may have to relocate my seat heater controls in ash tray). And anything else needed to NOT go boom for 1/2 mile-1.5 mile racing.
I'm needing a 75rwhp gain on a really good day to hit 200mph at the MMM and possibly 125rwhp on a not so good day. I'd prefer less if possible.
Does anyone make a complete kit for this and possibly a stand alone fuel cell if needed? And wet vs dry for this kind of setup? Estimated cost?

I can hook you up with everything you need.
Id recommend a plate kit or proton single nozzle.

Then you can add any accessories you would want.

I've had nitrous kits on a couple of 1st gen camaros, one with a bbc and carb and the other on a sbc with an efi setup, so this is a little different. After looking over the NX list it appears the efi kit would be the one, but with it and the efi assessory kit it's over $1200 and I'd still need several more items. Yowsa.
I'm debating a single 15lb bottle vs 2-10lb bottles? Heck, might even need 2-15lb bottles. I might have to purchase used bottles and gauges and leave the new for electrical items?
I guess we will see what I can come up with. Maybe I need to fill out adoption papers for the nx guy? Do you need a 62 year old son?

Currently gathering parts and installing my NX kit. Get the plate kit for whatever throttle body/manifold you will be running. Anything over 100shot will likely need a dedicated fuel system.
-NX plate kit
-NX bottle heater
-NX pillar switch gauge pod or ashtray switch panel
-NX fuel pressure safety switch
-innovate PSN-1 gauge (expensive but just read up on it. It has bottle pressure and is a wideband a/f. Also has fail safe, shift light, and rpm activated window switch built in. Hell of a “gauge”
-autometer dual or single gauge pod depending on which route you take.
-you might want a billet bottle mount
-and last but very important, Lingenfelter LNC-2000
gonna run you around $2,500 to do it right once you get everything you need. And that’s installing it yourself. I currently have all the items listed above and am almost done installing now.

Yowsa. I won't be installing it myself. Some things I'll do, but with just spending $13k+ rebuilding this 416 I'm not gonna do a diy nitrous setup.
It's looking like $3k for everything I'd like with install. Appears I'm gonna hafta save up some more, hope for an end of the year clearance or start gathering aluminum cans to make this happen. Ouch.

Trust me...I had no idea it was this much to do a nitrous setup either. Safely, that is. That innovate gauge was around $340 from real street on ebay but compared to buying a separate window switch such as the nos mini and a decent a/f wideband it came out to the same or cheaper. Then it also has nitrous bottle pressure and a built in shift light. The billet bracket I got was from ebay and I think is sold at jeg’s too for around $85. Half the price of the name brands.
