You should be fine, many people do it. I would recommend doing a cylinder leakdown test and make sure the motor is healthy before you start spraying. Also, if you do get a kit, I would set aside some extra money for the following: fuel pressure safety switch, better injectors(if using a dry kit), upgraded fuel pump (if using a wet kit), one step colder, non-platinum spark plugs (NGK TR-6 or Autolite 104s), a window switch, and a purge valve. Nitrous is always a hit or miss thing, but with all of those extras, you should be able to spray a 100 shot safely.

any recomendations(sp?) on if a wet/dry kit would be better as far as reliability.

Wet/Dry is an arguement that doesn't have a clear cut, one is better answer.

Wet kits make A/F changes easier by changing the fuel jet, but bottle pressure becomes critical.

Dry kits don't spray fuel through the intake, but to make A/F changes you have to retune the car. Depending on the state of your fuel system you might need to upgrade the fuel injectors.

You have to decide which way is you are the most comfortable with. We offer both styles.

Like ray said you can really go either way on it. What mods do you have planned for the future? Depending on that answer one style might be a better choice then the other. We also have a few wet & dry kits that would work for you, let me know if you have any questions with them:

For the shot that you plan on spraying, you will be fine with either kit.
