I do agree with you on not using it off of the line. It's hard enough to get traction as it is and I already shift into 2nd @ 6000 rpm's and I'm sure that will hurt something eventually.
Which kit do you guys recommend?? NOS, NX, others?? I gather that a 150 shot will do what I want, but should I do a wet or dry shot??
Oh yea, I'm doin a 15.00 in the 1/4 with a 2.5 60'... I told ya I cant get traction off the line

I have a single nozzel and I sprayed mine with 100 so far I might kick it up to 150... I hope to see 12's with 150
oh and mine is a wet kit... it's better to bring your own fuel just to be sure.

I just adjusted everything how I wanted it and left out the power tuning part of the HPP3. I doubt you'll have the chance to change the tune everytime you feel that you want to spray or not.
I was shifting around 6000 I think when I had everything on my truck and I sprayed through the shifts without any issues, but that doesn't mean it isn't helping wear things out a little quicker.
I used a TNT kit which I liked a lot, but I believe you need to run electric fans to fit the power ring on. NOS and NX I assume would be close with each other and from what I hear it sounds like it's more of a personal opinion for whoever thinks one is the best.
You will get mixed feelings on this from various people, but I suggest running a wet shot. The arguement against this is that the LS1 intake wasn't designed to run fuel through it and it may cause the gas to puddle up in the intake which can cause the intake to blow up along with some other issues.
However, with a dry shot you are spraying in front of the mass air meter and it has to adjust the amount of fuel to use depending on your shot. Some people don't like this method and it limits the size of shot you can use since mass air meters have a range they work in and max out at. If it maxes out then there won't be enough fuel and you'll have problems.

They do sell the injector nozzel things now for the LS1's, but I haven't heard anything about people using them yet. I'm sure if you go to the nitrous forum you'll be able to get some help from those guys.

I was running mid 13s with similar mods as you and a 100 dry shot. When I had the HPP3 (eventhough it was not recomended) I sprayed it on the powertunning without any problems but if you try it, I recomend using a scan tool to make sure you aren't getting any KR while spraying.
