RE: stock 5.0, can i go nitrous?
I would go with the zex dry kit 50-125
in my opinion for a pretty much stock motor it is the best kit!!!!!!!
my friend has been spraying a lighting with the 125 Zex dry shot for almost a year now no problems
he has used about 20 bottles up so far(Its like crack rock once you hit it once you cant quit)............no problems he runs 15.55 stock 13.95 with ZEX
just make sure you put it on right and do what the directions say and you will be fine....

zex is for the stupid *** ricers.
ya wanna real nitrous system,go nitrous express wet single nozzle with a shark2 nozzle,or go NOS with there fogger2 nozzle.
stay the HELL away from zex and there lackluster "NAAWWZ" systems.
add on the safety items from nos/msd/nx...fuel pressure satefy switch,window switch{if your cars a stick},get a bottle heater and for best results get a purge,nothing sucks more then getting a big ole shot of....just fuel. stay conservative on the timing considering you seem to have ZERO experience with nitrous,if you can run 2-3 passes without incident on stock timing,and a 75 shot,start experimenting with both timing,and the shot size IN SMALL INCREMENTS,minor changes in timing make a world of difference when it comes to spraying a car.
but,if you dont care about blowing it up...just pill it to a 400 shot,stab the timing at 14*...and have a fire extinguisher needed.
some of the people here never cease to amaze me,if you dont care about blowing it up,why even ask if you can run nitrous?...newbs. anywho,thats my 2cents.

There isn't anything wrong with ZEX but it does have it's limits. The best and hardest hitting kits I have had experience with are the NOS plates and NX/Trick Flow plates. They are the plates that go between the upper ans lower intakes. Awesome performance! They are expensive but you get what you pay for. Get a 255 lph fuel pump and a good ignition then spray 150.

RE: stock 5.0, can i go nitrous?
really,nothing wrong with zex?
do you have any experience with them? probably not. ive installed 3 of there craptacular systems on customer vehicles in the past{based on customer request,i tried to sway to NX or NOS WITH NO LUCK}and out of the 3,all of them had issues,one of them was severe,the control box shorted out internally and opened the nitrous solenoid somehow,and grenaded his motor.
stick with NOS/NX/EDELBROCK,the rest is showcar junk.
i will however agree with you that the hardest hitting systems are normally the plates,right now on my mustang i have 3 stages of nitrous. one being a nitrous express lightning plate system,and the other 2 stages being NOS cheater dual nozzles

Yes I do have experience with ZEX and never had any problems with it except they are limited to 125 shot. I put a kit on a 94' GT stock engine except for bolt ons and spray 3 years ago and it's still going. He runs high 7s in the 1/8 all day long. If I were to buy one today I wouldn't buy one either, I would NOS or NX myself.

i love my NX plate! if i have a good money race going on i normally pill the plate system at 175 since it hits the absolute freaking hardest,the other 2 nozzle stages are just insurance in case the car i picked on has more nuts then i originally thought it had haha.

Those plate systems are it! I put a Trick Flow plate system (NX makes it)on a 302 with Trick Flow heads, Trick Flow intake, and Comp nitrous cam. With the 100 jets in the car runs in the 11s! I know that's what the jets are because I put them in myself. 100 on the plate hits like 150 on the nozzle wet kits.

Dime I only push your buttons because i get a reaction out of it, would you keep picking on your brother if he didn't care?? probably not..... but you would if he kept getting mad right????probably so.... so see theres the simple explanation to this situation, so no this is not the end of the discussion.
