Default couple of questions about using nitrous with STS

I've been pondering using about a 75 wet shot with my STS system. Have any of you had any experience with that?

Maybe this should be in the tuning section, but im wondering if i'll still be able to use the maf or if a SD tune will be needed.

I hooked up a 35 shot on a plate system, but I never had the ***** to use it. I am pushing the little 5.3 hard enough.

IMHO a nitrous set-up is a waste of money. Unless your soul purpose is to spray the turbo lag out of it, I think it is cheaper to turn the "little black ****" up for more boost.. I have toyed with the idea of nitrous to help with lag. I just can't justify spending the money, mounting the tank, and installing it on a intake (truck intake) that is already wanting to distribute the air unequally.

Good point, I was going to use it with the 6 speed, I figured I would use alittle everytime I shifted to the next gear. For what ever lag that was there. I never did. I didn't like that every time you shifted you had to build boost again. It would start building instantly but, all my power is in boost. I am boost dependant. I wanted to try alittle in the begaining of every gear to help spool.
