Default Nitrous….maybe?

New C5 owner here. I have a 2000 FRC with 178k miles. My long term goal is to eventually rip that engine out and have it fully built…when budget and time will allow me too. From the research on this forum and other online post, LT headers, heads, cam, etc, aren’t the “best bang for your buck” in terms of money for HP. So I’m looking at Nitrous…..

From what I understand, a stock Ls1 should be able to handle 150 shot no problem. My question is, where do I start? What kind of kit? What kind of accessories will I need? Bottle warmer, gauges, etc.?

Or is there 1 kit that has EVERYTHING I need to install?

The car is basically stock. It has K&N intake and Borla axle back exhaust, MGM shirt throw. Will I need any other supporting mods?

TIA!!

I can help you out with everything you need.
I would start with a plate kit, accessory package, and window switch.

Only other things you might want are- switch panel, bottle opener, hard lines, etc
