Nitrous on a SBC

Nitrous on a SBC
When i get around to building a new 350 for my 89, im gona put a bit of nitrous to it. I was gona try and use anywhere from a 100-200 shot. All forged internals, eagle crank, yada yada yada. Its going to be a carb setup. Any recomendations for a kit to use? or where to mount the bottle? I wont have the back seats cause its going to get a roll cage to help with launches a bit plus subframe connectors the whole nine yards. I was thinking of a kit similar to this. http://www.jegs.com/p/Comp+Cams/762032/10002/-1/12043.
I wont be doing this for awhile yet, but i want to have my plan on paper soon so i can figure out prices for everything. Some of you may or may not know me, but i like to plan things out for this car way in advance, but im finally gettin close to starting the work on it.
Basically my goal for the engine is 450-475 horse all motor then the nitrous shot for a little extra kick on the track. And i know those numbers are very achievable, with the right knowledge and parts. Which i will hopefully gain in school soon.

bottle i think will either go on the deck behind the back seat, in that seemingly useless hole at the back, OR in the middle of the two back seats with the nosle faceing me

mount the bottle based on what you need, if its in the cab you will need a blowdown tube in order to race at the track.
the kit doesnt matter, i recommend going with something heavy duty like nitrous express. just make sure you have any goodies to control it you feel you need like a digital window switch. since u are going carb, alot of places make nice plate systems that run around the perimeter of the intake manifold openning. any of these things are interchangable because they are all connected with 4-AN line (usually) so u dont have to buy everything as a kit. I personally have NX solenoids, a ZEX bottle, and a NOS plate all joined up with custom cut hoses from a company in my city.

i had some zex parts laying around from my mustang, NX has the best solenoids, and NOS had the only ls1 throttle body plate i could find. there is no reason not to in order to get all the parts you want. i had custom hoses made so i could hide all of the components in the panel where the AIR fan used to be, and they all have brass endings rather than the telltale red/blue endings from nitrous kits, they are also completely loomed, u cant tell I have a kit other than the fact that a black loomed line attaches to the fuel rail and there is a micro switch by the TB
