If you look around through some of the auctions, you can sometimes find a used kit for around $200. Using a dry system is very easy and safe as long not abused (i.e; to much timing, too big a shot, not enough octane).

All you need to do to run a dry 75-150 shot is colder heat range on the plugs, retard your timing, add a fuel pump, and run at least 93 octance. A dry system will automatically bump your fuel pressure when spraying so you don't run lean. With the wet, the additional gas needed is sprayed in at the same time as the nitrous which also will prevent leaning out.

I set timing to about 4* when sparying. Is your car a manual or auto? I would look into throttle activation, that way when you let off the gas, the nitrous automatically disengages, especially if you drive a stick. With an auto you'll have nothing to worry about, step on the gas, the nitrous engages, as soon as you let out, it disengages.
