    If ur gonna go turbo, you'd be better off with a methanol system rather than NOS.....unless you can afford both

    ^Agreed, they're quick, simple, easy to install and when you do go turbo and don't want the nitrous anymore you can sell the kit and probably not lose your shirt on the deal.

    I would get a basic kit. You could do dry... but I like wet kits. Like a 78mm plate, and a reg 10# bottle. Make sure that if you do a dry kit, that your injectors can handle the extra fuel thats needed. I would run a dry shot if it were a smaller shot. But wet is generally safer. Any Ls1 plate kit can work. About any nitrous kit will work. Just get a kit with a window switch, WOT switch, wideband a/f ratio gauge, bottle warmer, and nitrous pressure gauge.
