Someone help me with the question

I know I know this prob. dosent belong here, but the people at Power Adder are uselss unless their pics of a Huge turbo on a big block.

This is basically my question:
Im sure im expecting problems by getting this system, But im getting it for a decent price and the guy is about an hour away from me so i can inspect it. He emailed me and this is what he said:
the kit is a tpi kit from Nitrous
Oxide
Systems. I believe the part # is 5151. I have an S-10 pick-up with a
camaro
lt-1 engine that i've been using it on. the kit uses a plate that goes
between the throttle body and intake manifold.
I thought the Nitrous Oxide Systems TB plate systems are different between the LT1 and TPI? Am i wrong? The 5151 kit that he's selling is for TPI units. Is there any way i can visually inspect to make sure that it is indeed for a TPI? thanx for any imput.

Would the SVO 19# injectors that i have on my car be acceptable when i use the 150 shot? i know about the timing retarding. any info, i do plan on street racing just to be on track here

Car craft put a supercharger on a 92' Z28 305 5speed a few years ago and needed to upgrade to 22# injectors. you cant just baid-aid your 19s by just upping fuel pressure. as for the nitrous, i would believe a LT1 kit would be useable on a TPI car, you would think the throttle body plate should fit either engine but im not 100% sure

If the guys on the Power Adder board won't help how about the Tech board?

The 5151 should be ok, it's a wet plate system that bolts up behind the throttle body. As for the fuel injectors you'll be fine since this is a wet system it injects it's own fuel, doesn't use the fuel injectors for enrichment.
