Anyone seen these before, or better yet heard anything about them? Is it going to be possible to use one of these on my GSL?

No, this type of nitrous injection is not a wise idea.
Reason being, is that its a dry system.
These style systems inject only nitrous, and rely on your existing fuel system to provide the additional fuel required. Your GSL isnt equipped properly to provide extra fuel when the nitrous is injected, so your likely to run very lean, and probably do some serious damage.
There have been a few threads lately with some very good information on nitrous oxide, do a search and you will soon find that a wet system is the only way to go.
You may wonder why a wet fogger couldnt be used in place of the dry one you posted, and the answer is that it would be way to dangerous, as there would be a very volatile explosive mixture in your intake. Too much heat, a backfire, or another source of ignition would cause an extremely dangerous explosion which could prove to be fatal if you had your face/body anywhere near the intake.
A common misconception is that nitrous oxide itself is flammable. When injected alone (no fuel-dry system) its actually very safe because N2O simply makes the fuel of your choice more volatile.
In short Nitrous + no fuel = no explosion.
N2O is simply another way of packing more oxygen into your engine. Without more fuel, N2O wont do anything but throw your current A/F ratio out of whack (LEAN).
I highly reccomend anyone thinking about nitrous oxide systems to spend a good deal of time researching. I feel like so many people have the wrong idea about N2O, and really dont know how it works. If you arent 100% confident in your Nitrous knowledge, read and read some more until you are comfortable, and sure you know what your doing.
Its people who dont know about nitrous oxide that give it a reputation as being unsafe.
