NOS Super Power Shot or Nitrous Express Hitman Plus?
I'm partial to Nitrous Express. I just like the quality of their products and their customer service is good. I have their billet crossbar kit.
Couple of items:
Nitrous loves higher compression, so if you have the ability to raise your c/r at this stage, I'd look into it. Hopefully that block was machined with torque plates as that will definitely improve longevity. Not gonna lie - a cast crank isn't ideal. I use forged rotating assemblies when I build nitrous motors. Cast will be okay, but don't get carried away and spray a moon shot at it.
Your pistons. Even though they're forged, you'll need to call the manufacturer and ask about the thickness of the crown material, and how much nitrous they recommend you throw at it. Also, they'll be able to recommend ring gap specs.
HIGHLY recommend quality main cap, rod, and head hardware. Also, look into quality head gaskets. You need a good fuse in the event you lift a head
A separate fuel system could be warranted, but it really depends on how much you're looking to spray and your pump's pressure. I've used a 250hp wet kit without a separate cell/pump and my A/F never got scary. Just depends.
Camshaft: I'd call a manufacturer and tell them your combination. They'll be able to look at the head flow, c/r, and displacement and tell you which cam you'd need for nitrous. Just keep in mind that your torque converter will need to be on-point to handle the shot as well.
Lastly, I'd invest in a good Programer, bottle warmer, dual bank A/F gauge, and retard switch. The programmer will allow you to ramp the shot so you're not hitting the motor all at once. This will help to keep it alive longer. You can also delay the shot, which is nice if traction is an issue.
The bottle warmer will help you to keep a consistent PSI. And the retard switch is pretty self explanatory.
Start with the lower jets to get everything sorted and make sure the mill isn't eating itself. After that, spray the piss out of it! Nitrous is awesome if it's respected. Just like everything else, if you follow the golden rules, you'll be fine.
