nitrous kit help

alright guys, kind of a newb when it comes to nitrous, but i know a little bit.
I know i want to run a 100 shot, either wet or dry does not matter to me.
I am definately thinking of a 10lb bottle and mounting it in the spare well.
I know i need a FPSS, purge kit, remote bottle opener, bottle heater/blanket, and what else?
I know many people run the mallory 685, but where do u mount that at?

Couple questions
what are the benefits (if any) or dual nozzle vs. single nozzle
i think the dual just spreads the nitrous out more, correct?

is it safer to run TPS or a microswitch? I have an automatic, so i definately do not want to spray through shifts

I will order it from a vendor on here

looking at that, what else would i need?

I have my Mallory box mounted in the trunk, it seems to get very good ventilation back there. Others mount it in the back seat area, glovebox, in the engine bay, ect. There is not much benefit too be gained from the dual nozzle kit other then appearance factors and it has a little bit better ability of supporting larger shots. You will want to run the microswitch or TPS switch so the nitrous only sprays at wide-open throttle. You will also want a window switch, which is a built in feature of the Mallory 685 box, so you don't spray thru the shifts. The kit you have listed pretty much includes everything for a basic setup. Everything you already listed is what is needed to make a safe setup.

so would i need anything on top of that setup?
for the difference in price, and me only going with a 100 shot, should i just go with the single nozzle?
How hard would it be to upgrade to a dual nozzle later on?

The single nozzle will be more then adequate in my opinion, but if you do want to upgrade in the future, you will need two "t" or "y" fittings that go into the solenoids. You will also need another nozzle and another pair of 3AN lines. Also, keep in mind that with the dual nozzle kit, you can only go in increments of 50s. So you can only run a 50-100-150-200-250 ect. With a single nozzle kit, you can adjust in increments of 25s.

The FPSS definely. Also, one step colder, copper conductor plugs such as the NGK-TR6s or Autolite 104s and an upgraded fuel pump such as the Walbro or Racetronix would be a good idea if going with the wet kit.

so is the only difference between wet and dry that wet puts fuel into the line too?

With the wet kit, there are two seperate lines and two seperate solenoids, one for nitrous, one for fuel, that go into the "mixer" nozzle. With the dry kit, there is a only a single nitrous nozzle and the fuel enrichment is done usually by spiking the fuel pressure.
