Default nitrous system on c5?

Hi,

Post this in FI as that is where Nitrous members hang out. Also many, many posts and a lot of info about Nitrous on ls1 tech. I am going to add Nitrous and have been researching on that forum. Tons of info.

Welcome to the forum! Lots of people run nitrous on these cars. Go over and check out the FI/Nitrous forum for more details. Search back through the archives and you will see a lot of good info on nitrous on a C5. You ask if it is safe? It can be very safe if done right, but there is a video floating around the Internet where someone blows the hood off a C5 and sets the car on fire, so if not done correctly it can be not so safe. Probably the safest is a dry shot since you don't have fuel up in the intake, but your limited to less gain. Check out the info over in FI/Nitrous forum, lots of knowledge over there!
