Default Need An Introduction To Nitrous

I have a 97 w/ a 408. The rings a gapped for nitrous, and I'm starting to consider it. Car puts down 515 RWHP. Not sure how much more power I'm looking for, may be a 150 shot or so. Also not sure about the set up. Everything on the car has been done without compromise, and I'll be looking for the best w/ this nitrous set up. My assumption is that direct port may be the best way to go. Looking forward to the input and suggestions. Thanks!

That's rather insulting to the folks in the FI section who did respond to your post, don't you think?

just stick to the FI section... slower responses over there because there are less users in that section... just give it time... if you need information on demand that just LS1 related and not corvette.. LS1tech might be a better place to place your question.. but you can get some off teh wall answers over there..

the FI/N20 section here isnt as busy as LS1Tech.com's N20 section. You will get more feedback and faster response there.
