Hi everyone, I recently purchased a used nitrous outlet system, a 90mm intake and throttle body for my 98 ls1. I am in search of a speed shop that will install everything and tune , dyno my car. I live on the eastern shore of maryland. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

WELL,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, If you have a pretty much stock LS1 (No aftermarket Heads and CAM) the 90 mm TB and 90mm Intake Manifold is pretty much a waste in effort and cash. The stock stuff will support way more HP than your going to experience without fail. Same goes for the spark plug wires and coils. NO HP to be gained replacing those with expensive aftermarket parts!

You can install the NO2 system and have a tuner set it up for you and that will add whatever HP that the set up is designed to provide.

If it were me, I would just install a used LS6 intake manifold and add NO2 to the to that. A good LT SS Header system will also help a lot.

Trust me,, the Stock MAF and the Stock TB are Not the HP restrictions for your engine. The heads and cam are.

Sell the 90 and tb and get some good lt headers and the ls6 intake. You might even have a few bucks left over and better performance.

Agreed. LS6 intake and your nitrous kit is the best rout. Someone will pay big for the Fast set up.
