look at my other post.

it will be alot cheaper and easier just to get a 20lb bottle if running a single stage.

also the BG system, imho, is the best. and if you ever go with a stronger bottom end you can up it to 175 shot.

but make sure you buy all the electrical add ons up front because its much easier to wire all together than afterwards.

NX, and TNT's solenoids will easily handle 175shot on their standard nozzles and solenoids

birdman,
you could invest in a timing retard.

Don't buy the electric bottle opener. waste of time and money. Where are you going to mount your bottle?
all standard kits will go up to 150 so you will have the option to grow if you choose to. I guarantee you will not stay at 75 for more than 2 weeks.

I don't know if you can use lt1 edit to retard timing but even if you can you wouldn't want to use that because your car will be a dog when you are not spraying.

You want to invest a boost timing retard like the msd where you can turn it with a knob when you want it to retard.

If you only spray 75-100. i wouldn't worry about it.

Sounds like you have the bases covered. You wont really need to worry about sparkplugs with a 75 shot but since I agree with zelement in that you probably wont stay there long I thought I might bring up sparkplugs.

If you get up to a 100 shot or higher you may want to run a cooler plug with a recessed electrode like the ngk B8EFS (stock order # 1049). It reduces the chance of detonation and in the case you do have a detonation, with the recessed electrode, it reduces the chance of blowing the electrode off to wreak havoc. The cooler plugs wont effect all around performance but will help to reduce the higher temps of the combustion with the nitrous.

Well said DAVE

I also use the MSD retard knob style instead of the retard box.
Helps when you get bad gas on the street with the retard dial, just turn it counter clock wise and no more ping.
I was told that it would not work with an LT1 BLAHA as usual been running it for 3 years on the 94 LT1.

Let us now how it goes, install wise and performance wise. I am going to be using the Nitrous Direct Direct Port kit that is very similar in design, and the price is outstanding. I like these type kits for the safety factor and the plug and play feature. No pulling intake for drilling and tapping, then when resaleing car all goes back to stock with no butchered intake. They also perform as well as any other design.
