Nitrous Wet or Dry
I cannot afford a supercharger or turbo, so this spring I'm looking to get a NX Nitrous kit. The sell for around 550 installed down this way. Anyways, with stock internals and only exhaust, what would be a safe 'shot' to use? I noticed dut has direct port 80 shot, im unsure of his internals though. I will not be gettin direct port, just regular. Any help by anybody that has nitrous on their s, or not, will be highly appreciated!

If folks are 'charging on stock internals to the tune of +100 more horsepower, then the internals should be able to handle the extra hp via the funny stuff. I would like to offer that $550 will not get you a safe nitrous setup. Done right(to be read as SAFELY), nitrous will run you to the tune of $2k-$3k

When you introduce such a large and instantaneous increase in cylinder pressures, rings and bearings tend to go to shit.
And it does not cost anywhere near $2-3k for a proper wet nitrous install. A complete fogger kit (with both solenoids, bottle, all lines, Shark nozzles, throttle body adapter, and all associated hardware) will run you around $700.
If you want a 700shot multi-stage direct port wet setup (for a V8) with hidden under-intake nozzles, junction blocks, 8 solenoids (4 nitrous, 4 fuel), and all the other goodies, then and only then will it cost you $2-3k.
