They are pretty straight forward. The biggest pain is the wiring.

You can get the instructions off the manufacturers web site if the kit is at all worth buying. I'm only about 40 min from you and could give you a hand if you want to come up my way. I haven't looked lately but I seem to see used kits on Craig's list fairly regularly.

Just make sure you get a quality kit and a nitrous tune.

You can run a 75 shot without a tune. As long as you run 93 octane and leave the factory global spark you will be fine. Anything over a 75 shot you will need a tune.

I thought 100 wet shot and you would be safe on factory tune?

People run that size shot without a tune but I would never do it myself. Major lean spike right as the nitrous hits.
