Nitrous or complete LS1 brakes
Torn between a complete ls1 brake conversion from and back. I have a 1992 camaro z28 350 with the j65 code. Single piston brakes all around. I have braided steel lines from earl drilled and slotted rotors and high performance ceramic pads with less than 1500miles on the setup. Or should I go with nitrous for my modified engine. Advice please

nitrous, unless you road race which is 5% of this community.
stock brakes with high performance pads and rotors are adequate for street driven cars.

Re: Nitrous or complete LS1 brakes
I'm going to disagree as many of the 3rd gens were 14 second and/or 150mph cars from the factory and could barely stop from 60mph in 140 feet. LS1 brakes would drop that by at least 30 feet, giving much more braking safety and even better performance when warmed up.
