On a 1999 you have the smaller injectors, so maybe a wet kit is more to your liking... The kit should come with a WOT switch and a window-switch is nice to have as well. Use a good copper plug (I use TR6s at .038 gap) and I wouldn't worry so much about tuning/timing on a 100shot, but again it's nice to have. Make sure that your fuel system is in good shape and use good gas. If you want to get fancy, a bottle-heater and purge kit are nice accessories...

fuel pressure safety switch, then window switch and wide open throttle switch, then wideband 02, then fast or similar intake with burst panels, then...well, you get the pictre, lots of nitrous safety items, but if you wanna be safe, DO NOT RUN A DRY KIT ! ! ! wet is a much safer way to spray

hahahah the good ol' wet vs. dry... look around in the nitrous section. This subject has been beat to death. I would advise using a dry kit, because without the correct a/f ratio (lean) the nitrous shuts off. Going with a dry kit you need to make sure your fuel system (pump and injectors) can handle the hit. From what i hear a 100 shot is about as far as stock fueling will go. I believe thats the biggest you will want to try to run. Look in the nitrous section. It will be your friend. Also talk to NitroDave- he knows his stuff.
