Default Installing Nitrous. Need help!

Just bought a NOS dry kit for my 98 vette and the install book that it came with is not very helpful. Is their anywhere on the web I can go to get a step by step instruction?

Thanks

This place is not the greatest for dry NOS advice. Head over to ls1.com and read their nitrous section, it has a ton of info on the 5177 dry kits. Should be able to answer all your questions.

Well the instruction book that came with the kit is geared morre towards the f-bodies and all the illustrations use pics from a z28.

Yeah, because the kit is actually made for LS1 F Bodies, but it's basically the same concept for the vettes. You will just have to fab something up for the nozzle placement and how they will be held in place. It really depends a lot on what kind of air intake system you are using, so it will need to be custom for your car.

I ran my nitrous line inside the frame rail to the back of the car, right under the middle compartment.

The wires, I ran into the interior from the grommet behind the battery (fish tape really helps here). I took my FPSS off, it sucks and was causing my system to not work. I hear they are jacked up straight from the factory...

If you have any more questions let me know or do a search over at LS1.com, or I have posted quite a bit about my dry system on here, so search that as well. Good luck :cheers:
