Default Nitrous for dummies?

I have a 99 civic lx, with intake and exhaust and i want to put nitrous on it in a few monthes after i get rims and tires, and my suspension redone. but nitrous will come in like a month and a half.

So i did a little reading on the forums about nitrous. I was just wondering if i could get some tips or pointers on where to start and what kind of kits i should be looking at. i would appreciate any help on this please post helpful comments i am serious about doing this not just jerkin around.
links or whatever.

thanks for the help guys.

seriously won't a turbo be atleast twice as expensive and much more labor intesive. I just want some quick hp at not that big of an expense. unless you guys think i should really try to put a turbo in.

I am seriously torn between a turbo or nitrous.

Spray is easy man, just get a basic 1 nozzle wet kit and it is self explanatory. You hook it up and it's good just run plugs that are a step colder. BTW guys, very helpfull shoving a turbo down somebodies throat that allready said he didn't want one.

NX has good stuff (nitrious kits). check it out a procivic.com to get an idea about the cost. they will do price match for you as well. get a kit that sprays a wet shot and run either a 30 or 50 shot. no more tho on your stock motor. and make sure you get some type of tune for it.

The tuning is self contained, for every 1 part of n2o it add 1 part fuel, that is the point of a wet kit. And you will be safe with around a 75 shot on a completely stock engine just watch out for your clutch to start slipping.
