Yea, I might even start out with a 50 shot, and use it to work all the bugs out, because reliability is by far the most important consideration to me. I'm surprised that there are not more nitrous systems on C6 vettes, I've done a LOT of googling to try to find them.
One of the guys on the forum has everything I probably need (and I know there are VERY reputable nitrous vendors that will help spec out a good setup), so I'll be back it touch with him (and the vendors), once I get my wife's health back under control.
Once I either go nitrous, supercharged or turbocharged, I'll keep good records of what I do, so that others can use it to build upon for them.

Just like any FI it's all in the tune. If tuned correctly you could run a 150 shot bottle after bottle with no problems. If tuned wrong a 50 shot will mess some stuff up.
I suspect the reason there's not many C6 "kits" out there is because the average C6 owner is scared off by after market mods. Also nitrous kits are so flexible that very little is required to make a kit vehicle specific. Any of the forum vendors could set you up with everything you need though.

Ok then I'll have to ask what your goals are? If you want it to only work from 3rd and up that tells me you're doing 70 rolls. 3rd gear and up won't help you shave much off the 1/4 compared to having it in 1st & 2nd.
There are progressive controllers out there so the shot starts off at say a 75 shot and then increases to 150 over time. I would honestly just run a 150 shot and decide if a controller is necessary after a few runs as 150 isn't that big of a hit.
You'll be needing a window switch to keep it spraying in the 3k - 6800rpm range. The kit will also be setup to run of WOT signal so it won't spray unless you have your foot on the floor.
You'll also need a bottle heater or for a really nice setup a nano kit. Your bottle becomes almost ineffectual when pressure is below 600psi and those options will keep the pressure up for you.
I also recommend a colder spark plug when running nitrous. Something like a NGK TR6. I heard some guys having problems with that plug in a C6 so you may have to go with the Autolight equivalent in heat range. Stay away from Platinum plugs.
Let me know what else you would like to know.
