1) It's "nitrous"
2) Proper case sentences helps, as does punctuation
3) The stock manifold cannot take the excessive heats generated from nitrous usage.. it will survive for a while, but not for long. I've read the max is 150, but a search might yield a more precise answer. You should get a FAST intake manifold if you're serious about using nitrous.
4) Anything over a 100 shot and you're likely going to need to replace your stock runflats with something that will transfer the power to the road better.

A lot matters with the tuning. Above 150 you will need to have your tuning dead on. There are plenty of stock LS's spraying in the 200 shot range.

Start with a 100 shot single fogger and go from there.....just make sure the tune is good and your motor will last for a long time on nitrous

Start small and work your way up. Get used to how it hits and how the car reacts to it then step up into the bigger shot sizes. Feel free to give us a call if you have any questions. Thanks.
