If I back off on the nitrous kit and let him do the swap and tune only since thats all paid for along with headers and exhaust, could you set up the wet plate kit?

tootall is right:
get your 10 bolt built
get a plate kit if you want to run nitrous, dry kits just aren't adequate

After talking with Pewterliftedz and tootalls advice, I am going with a wet plate kit locally.
I am going to call Nitrous Outlook a buzz

I paid for the Kit TooTall mentioned fro Nitrous Outlet but they wont have the 15#bottle until march 22nd. Thats no biggie because the ly6 wont get installed until 1st or 2nd week in April. Thanks for the education TooTall & Pewter.
I also ordered a 34" all aluminum radiator with built in engine oil and trans oil cooler from Genesis to go with my Deraly Efans that I ordered. Not 100% sure on the fan controller. I might go with the flexalite one.

The All aluminum 34" radiator should be in any day now.

Thanks for taking a peep!

Wheels came in over the weekend. I am thinking of using 4of these in 16x8's as the daily wheels and slap on the 16x10's with M/T ET streets. What do yall think? I am not big on large wheels for me. Big wheels looks nice though.
