Default VARARAM and Nitrous?

Hi guys I plan to install 100 shot of nitorus (wet) on my C5. But when i'm not on the bottle, I would like a little more HP. I want to get the VARARAM intake. Will I be able to still hook up nitrous to it?

No problem. The nozzle on a wet kit goes in the air duct in front of the Throttle Body. If its a plate kit, it goes behind the TB.

Cold Air Intakes like the Vararam or Blackwing can be used on Dry kits as well, the difference being the nozzle(s) for dry kits are installed on the Vararam or Blackwing (Dry nozzles rely on being placed in front of the MAF, where wet nozzles are between the MAF and the TB, Plates are behind the TB).

Thank you kind sir, you have been very helpful. I'm so excited about the NX kit. I want to go 150 but I think a 100 shot may be the better route.

I bet you will be changing out the 100 hp jets within a week.
150 shot feels so much better than 100 shot....
Have fun.

Would the top neck of the stock air bridge be a good spot for a dry nozzle?

When I was running nitrous I injected it in this same spot. I've seen guys drill holes in their intake and inject there, but the only problem is if you ever decide to go another form of induction on your car you might have a hard time selling the intake.
