From what I have heard a nitrous install (wet/dry kit) is not too hard to install and is a job the average guy who has worked on his car a little can tackle....Not to mention the fact that if you have any trouble there is a whole section of guys that can help you + there are some great writeups on the web. I am not sure if direct port would be much harder...I would think so. Good luck.

Yeah, I have your basic knowledge and such. It's just a 75-125 shot dry kit.

The install is a breeze, troubleshooting why you are not spraying might take longer. Me and a buddy spent over three hours installing a TNT kit on my buddies SS. But that included trimming the lid, trimming the bellows, mounting the WOT switch, mounting the window switch, mounting the switch panel in the ashtray, mounting the solenoids, mounting the bottle and bracket in the trunk, wiring and tubing. Turns out we had the wrong wire tapped for the tach signal for the window switch, everything else was hooked up correctly.
Have fun spraying.

I did mine in about a hour and 45 mins. I have the nx efi wet kit. That was with mounting the brackets,switches,wot switch,and solenoids. The hardest part for me was getting the shrader valve out,and the line on the feul rail. My kit was on for a total of 1hr,went to the track and let her rip with no previous tests lol. Let me tell u,changing plugs in a moving enclosed trailer with nothing but a flashlight is a pita. Got it done though.
