1993 Z28 LT1 383, How to add Nitrous?
I have a 1993 LT1 with a full scat rotating assembly, XFI292 comp cam and lifters, Summit 1.5 roller rocker arms, Trick flow center bolt aluminum heads, trick flow 40lb injectors, Accell distributor, msd coil, 58mm throttle body, K&N cold air intake, headers and flow master, rebuilt TCI transmission and TCI 3600 super street fighter stall convertor, Richmond 342 gear, Detroit true track carrier, superior axles, custom burnt computer chip, I know a little more but not much. Bought this car to flip and want to add 200 shot of Nitrous.
Can anyone tell me what changes need to be made to allow this?

A 200 shot is pretty stout and your fuel injection may not be able to handle the added fuel delivery. If this is the case you will have to go to a wet system, which provides additional fuel via a dedicated fuel system just for the nitrous. Ignition timing will need to be pulled back as nitrous is added, and very high compression could be a problem. Your simplest way would be to purchase a complete kit. If the job is not properly done, you may wind up with a basket of broken parts.
If you're looking for that much of shot of nitrous, you may want to look into adding a water-methanol injection kit as well. It'll allow you to safely add that much of a nitrous shot. You didn't say whether the Scat rotating assembly was cast or forged.
Since you bought the car to flip, are you going to get the investment of a nitrous setup back out of it, or even enough to make it worth while doing? One concern a buyer may have in their mind when they see the nitrous is, how much was the engine abused?
A good plate nitrous setup is going to run you 1k+ with all the proper electronics, jets, lines, purge, bottle heater, etc. You'll need a good kit like this one:
Nitrous Outlet 93-97 GM LT1 58mm Plate System
Which doesn't have a digital window switch or a bottle heater or purge. You might also need new plugs depending on what kind you have right now, and you will definitely need a good tune for that kind of shot, which having a nice AFR gauge wouldnt be a bad idea either.
