Nitrous is more pain than it is worth. 50 HP would be pushing it, plus a wet shot or even a fogged setup would blow the engine. You would have to tune this puny little shot almost to the point of its being useless, and there's still a chance you could screw up the engine.
My opinion, save the money and get a nice alky injection or something.

listen to what the guys who have been around for awhile say, thats the reason that they have been around.....because they know their shit. they say its not worth it. i commend you for wanting to be a poineer in trying new systems on our trucks, but dont come cryin to the board when things go wrong.
I have looked at this some, and I thought we could use kit #05151, which is the GM TPI kit. It has a plate that bolts up between the throttle body and the intake. The only hang up I see is it makes the throttle body stick out farther, which may interfere with intercooler alignment. Some one else may know more??

Good luck with nitrous on a Syty, you will NEED it.
I helped tune a Ty with nitrous. Boost was out of control, knock retard was out of control. It was running an external wastegate, high octane race gas, and a small shot.
I don't like the stuff on a Syty, just my $0.02.
Might take notice that only the newbies keep asking about NOS on a Syty as well...

Anyone ever tried a progressive controller, I would think that adding 5-10hp shots in small increments would solve the boost and knock problem. Just an idea, I'm not endorsing nitrous, but I'd like to find out if anyones really tired to make this work.
Progressive controller, port injection, good chip, and a good wastegate might work, starting to sound a little spendy though, might be better off with a set of Vortecs and PTE or maybe Vortecs, PTE and Nitrous.

I have the NOS in my truck but have not used it yet on my new motor. Can someone tell me more about the "alky" injection and what performance gains you can expect to see, the difficulty in installing it as well as the cost.
Thank you,

to run nos you have to have the 3bar setup and an afpr. As long as you run it rich you should be alright. The turbo doubles theshot so all that you would want to run is a 50 shot. When you hit the button your truck will boost 17 or 18 lbs. It takes quite a bit of tunig by the right people to get it right.
or have it come on at 11 lbs with the progressive controller and shut off at around 17-18. I have never known anybody that has run nos with a turbo, but i love it on my 99ss, 150 wetshot. So anybody on here that has it or tried it on the syty, does it make your boost level jump up as soon as you engage the nos , where its uncontrollable? So if you driving the sy and you nailed the gas and you were at 10lbs of boost and then hit the nos would you shoot up to 18lbs or something?
