I have a 2002 ls v-8 that i want to put Nos into and i was wondering how is this done and if i can just bolt it on or if i need to adjust the fuel system or anything else. All ideas on this if its a good or bad idea please. And if you could give me a website to help me look.

You could ask this guy (http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=322). Personally, I don't like N2O. Plus where I live, the police could impound your car if you even have the hoses hooked up to the tank while the car is operational. Who ya tryin' to outrun anyway? :wink: J/K

i just want to know if this will cause any problems with the high compression and all. and i just want to know if im going to have any other problems or what will cause those problems.

It really depends what kit you go with.
Btw, nitrous loves high compression.
That aside, from what i understand a dry system is sprayed before the MAF so fuel is accounted since the MAF picks it up. Youll more than likely have to upgrade injectors and I would recommend putting it on a dyno just in case.
A wet kit has fuel mixed in with the nitrous. I believe the Zex kit is a wet kit and has a subinjector to add the extra fuel. I believe a wet kit is safer as well. Either way, put it on a dyno and get it tuned properly. Nitrous is hard to tune for and can be very dangerous for your engine. Spraying at too low of an rpm is a good way to puddle nitrous in the intake and blow something up and bouncing off the rev limiter while spraying is a sure way to bend a rod.
Some other kits like the Venom actually tap into the pcm and injectors and actually increase the pulse of injectors when the nitrous is being sprayed. It also has a linear and drag mode and can be set for rpm and throttle position. It taps into the 02 sensors so if a lean condition is read, it immediately stops the nitrous. Its one of the more advanced nitrous systems as well as safe, but also much more expensive. (~$1200 for a VCN-2000)
