Default Adding Nitrous

Hey guys, I'm new to the corvette community have owned my 2008 C6 (LS3) for about 3 months now and I am looking to make some upgrades. I know I am going to be adding a BTR stage 4 cam, .660 lift BTR Platinum LS spring kit with Titanium retainers, and 7.400" push rods, still undecided on what type of exhaust I am going to go with, and a Vararam CAI.

My real question is what all should be upgraded when adding a nitrous outlet. I have never really played much with nitrous and I'd like to have a little schooling done so I don't grenade my motor. The kit I am currently looking at is a Nitrous Express 15LB wet system from summit racing.

I am aware that I am going to have to get it tuned as well still looking for a reputable tuner in my area.

Could someone with a little more knowledge help me figure out what all I should be upgrading in the process, currently the car has a bone stock LS3 with 47k miles. I will also be doing my own research as well, but figured I would start here with other corvette owners!

Thank you in advance!

Not nitrous related ,,but that cam you mentioned has more lift than is workable with stock pistons as per youtuber Richard Holdner, he states, about .620 lift is the max for not cutting pistons heads for valve relief. Since this is an old thread, you no doubt already know that if you still have a running engine, and even if you dont. Just a word of caution on the matter.
