Default C6 nitrous question...

With a stock bottem end, and a pretty good size H/C package what shot is safe but still a good kick? My main concern is not being too much power for the bottem end. So i was thinking 75shot? Of course the tune is important but tune has nothing to do with too much power for rods.

No problem..
The bottom end can handle a 150 shot with no problem. You may need to upgrade the fuel system though.

I agree, a 150rwhp shot is doable. I think that's a good choice going dry, these cars really respond well to the dry hits. Check out our PRO Dry kit, we sell a ton of these for the lsx vette platform, but if you decide to go wet, we have ya covered there also.

i dont want to put the car at jepordy (ive been saving for a long time and will continue to save untill i find one at the right price) But when i do i want to have something on tap! So i think 75 dry should give me the kick i need ontop of a H/C setup.

Not trying to knock the brand or the price, however, if you look at what is included compared to other kits you'll see how it is able to be sold so cheap. The old saying applies, 'You get what you pay for'.
