Nitrous is very safe if you use it right. Most people with your miles run maybe 75-100 shot. Im sure others will jump in for opinions just wait.

A 3500 stall might be good. A lot of mixed opinions. Most recommend 3200 on a stock cam. I'm getting 3.73's, 3200, and good tires with the full bolt ons, should be about a 12.6.

I am confused, DO you mean you put an Ls1 in your 95? If not, spray is the cheapest power adder you could go with. I have been spraying a 150 shot on my car with 80k on the clock. No problems here, just a bunch of suprised People/

since your looking for cheap power... spray is the way.
lol
But a S/C would get you the "boost" you want. And it would be ALL THE TIME POWER and now just when its turned on. reliable too. Just you really dish out the cash for it.

A 100 shot on a stock car will get you in the 12's. If I got a 100 shot now I would be about a 12.5 with no traction. I'll be in the 11's, as stated above with gears, stall, and tires.
