If you are serious about using nitrous, then get a plate system. Anything else you are asking for trouble. Also, a stock (88lph) pump will not suffice for a 100 shot, you will go lean and burn piston(s). When dealing with Nitrous, your motor gets its power from the extra fuel NOT the nitrous. Nitrous only helps to facilitate the burn of the extra fuel. What I mean is, Nitrous breaks down chemically at roughly 550 degrees f, which releases the base elements of Nitrogen and Oxygen into the combustion chamber. More Oxygen+more fuel=more power. Nitrous without the extra fuel... Well, (extreme lean) temps inside the combustion chamber will spike dramatically causing a whole host of bad things to happen to your internals. Yes, it's the best bang for your buck. However, if you don't set it up right all you will get is a bang and spend alot more bucks. Sorry, that phrase way lame but I had to say it!
