I was wondering for the extra money for the fogger is it worth it. I will be running somewhere in the area of 200-300hp. Also.. will forged pistons, and forged h-beam rods be able to hadle the power with a stock crank with 70k on it??

Are you still going to be using an LT1 INtake, or did you decide to switch over to a carb like you were talking about. That changes things significantly regarding what you're asking here.

It will be on a carb set up.

That being the case, you could run a Carb plate effectively w/ that much nitrous. A fogger would still be better, but a plate can be run. The Bottom end sounds OK. The OEM Cranks aren't TOO bad of a piece, and you're upgrading the more important parts, being the pistons and rods.

Good luck, and do LOTS of research!

I just want to say thanks for the help you've given me. I would love to put a forged crank in but i dont have the money right now. I am going to stud the bottome end and use arp 220,000 rob bolts. I just hope that it holds together for one season so i can save for a new engine. Before we put the nitrous kit on it, it will be going to the dyno shop out here to get tuned pefect. One last question on the set up, what is the be ignition box to run? I was looking at a msd6al. Once again, thanks for the help you've been giving me.

The MAD 6AL is a decent box, but honestly its old technology. If you ran the 6AL you'd still need a seperate retard box, chipos, etc anyways. Instead step up to the newer Digital 6. It has a built in Nitrous Timing retard doesn't require the chips, and is all digital technology.

I have a Digital 7 in my car.

You should be fine ith the stock crank. Just make sure you get some pretty good pistons, as that will be the most crucial bottom end component.
