Default Nitrous, tune up?

Ijust bought a 1995 Cobra with 130,XXX miles on it and no modifications except FlowMaster exhaust. Well instead of making it into a 306 I figured I would just put about a 75 shot of nitrous on it. My question, should I go wet or dry. And if I do, should I pull the motor apart and replace all the rings, seals and etc.? And if I do this should I do any other modifications to help it out, like breathe better?

go with a wet kit, the motor should handle it for a while before it decides to go but i would go with a colder plug and and window switch to help things

personally i wouldn't put nitrous on it because ur car has hypertrectic(<however u spell it) pistons in it instead of forged in it. but if u r set on it i wouldn't do nemore than a MAX of 75 and make sure u take to a dyno shop and get it tuned.
a guy around here just fried his motor spraying 4 times with a 100 shot but his was untuned.
