I would look at the NX maxmimizer 2 kit if yoru serious about nitrous it is the ultimate. You can set all kinds of parameters for nitrous activation. It is a progressive kit to so it will gradually build up to your set shot to keep traction. You can set it gear specific too so in first gear it can build gradualy and in 3rd and 4th build a lot faster or go straight all out.

About the most nitrous I'd plan on running is 50-75 shot at the most. So would a direct port really be necessary for that small amount of nitrous? Or would the wet kit be better suited to my needs? Although I don't plan on going all that big with it, I wanna stay safe though.

The other thing I'm wondering is that I read the article in the link posted above. It's saying that the intake cam really wouldn't need to be upgraded (of course they're talking about domestics I think) but the exhaust volume would be greater and would benefit by having a larger cam to get that exhaust out and make it easier for the piston to move upwards by allowing all the exhaust to get out. So I'm wondering if I'd benefit by going with something such as a stock intake cam and a 272 exhaust cam for example. Hmmm....

With a direct port kit each cylinder will get an equal amount of nitrous. With a regular wet kit it will vary between cylinders. The cylinder farthest from the throttle body would get the least while the one closest to the throttlebody will get the most.

this is true but you will not see any gain or benfit from using a direct port kit with a 50-75 shot. On top of that you would just bee adding parts to clogg. Look up post by dsmjim on the issue who is a nitrous expert and a wiseman.

Thanks, will do. Just wanna research this a lil bit before I commit to anything cause I wanna know the in's, out's, risk, and benefits of everything 1st.

Any opinion on doing the cams as I mentioned?

Cams will nevefr hurt a car unless they don't fit the final setup. IN your case 272's would be cool don't go too agressive though as you blow nitrous out the exhaust causing slight backfires at high rpms.

Thats what they make nitrous filters for. Personally I would rather spend the extra money to distribute the nitrous equally.

272's is about as big as I care to go. Hope I don't go getting huge backfires cause this is all the exhaust that I have on the car. Lol.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure a wet kit is one that mixes with your fuel hence the wet part and a dry kit just sprays into your into via dry. So a dry kit not a wet kit will cause that problem. I have had a few Honda friends say the same thing when they had dry kits and say the last cylinders were not getting as much because the first two were getting most of the N2O.

It doesn't get mixed in with the fuel. Both wet and dry kits are plummed between the turbo and intake manifold. They both spray the same way. The only differance is a wet sprays fuel and nitrous where ever it is plummed. And a dry only sprays the nitrous. A direct port kit has a nozzle on each intake manifold runner. So you know it will equally distribute fuel/nitrous to each cylinder. If you don't understand what I mean I will find pictures for you.
