Default What is the best 100 ish hp nitrous kit for a sbc 4150 efi motor?

I’m looking at installing a 100-125 nitrous setup on my 427 sbc motor. Pump gas. Forged pistons. Probably dry system. The motor has a Fast xfi efi system. Limited hood clearance.

what is the best kit?

Anyone? I’ve never used nitrous and want to play around with it. I’ve read and watched videos indicating that most well-built engines can handle 100 shots as long as the timing is retarded 2-4 degrees per 100 hp shot AND that the fuel is increased.

I’ll talk to my tuner today and see what he says.

Nitrous is a pain in the a@@
It puts a huge load on your engine. And your forever filling bottles.
Just build power the old fashioned way I would say.
Every experience I've had with Nitrous has been negative.
