I personally won't juice my car, but nitrous is the cheapest and fastest way to add horsepower...
either good for imaginary 50 rw at least

I run a Harris Speed Works wet kit, just a small 100 shot, controlled by their Microedge cntroller. Couple that with headers, Vortex CAI, LS6 intake/heads/cam, and a good tune by Doug at ECS. I'm pretty darn happy when I hit the go button.
Now I just need a NANO system to keep the shot constant throughout the entire bottle.......

QUOTE=sneakelman;1575500771]Why not? The LS engine loves N2o. Todays systems are so much more advanced, ie safer, than just a few years ago. Computer controlled, and monitored. Plus you have the added advantage of turning it off when you don't need/want the power.

I totally agree... I have had Superchargers and it is a constant wear and tear on the motor. NOS is the way to go.
There is nothing wrong by asking for the cheapest way to add 50 hp...
Some people just think their greater than others... One person on here was knocking me for asking a question about Z06’s. He was downing me for asking a question and how better his corvette was because he had a Z06. He would never run for Pinks...
So do not worry some of us are not jerks... I would highly recommend Nitrous…

Comp Cams 54-444-11 will take you from approx 407hp to 455hp at flywheel. (readings are from a stock LS1 345hp rated motor).
Sorry, I'm not on my computer to provide link, but I think it was Super Chevy or Car Craft that tested three of Comp Cams camshafts.

Get a vara ram intake from JWmotoring.com
add this with some of our LG headers and a tune and you will be close. Probably not quite at 50, but not too far off.
