it will be fine on a 100 shot ... just make shure you change the plugs. To be on the safe side get it tuned.
i run a wet kit and gained 95 rwhp and 130 rwtq .. on 900 psi

Copper one step cooler like NGK TR6 gapped 0.040.
A lot of people prefer wet as it has a better kick but myself for starters I use 5177 NOS dry. Fairly complete system (Only had to buy a heater to keep pressure up).
You will have to learn about tuning for proper AFR/Timing retard on spray to avoid detonation (Knock) which is the killer while shooting nitrous.

Oh and I just noticed you have M6, you'll definitely need a Window switch (It predetermines shooting between certain rpms so u don't shoot through shifts)

The difference between a wet or dry kit,Here it goes.
A dry kit is a kit that sprays nitrous before the maff.The fuel is added from your fuel injectors.If you like dry kits this is a good begginer kit.A wet kit comes with a fuel solinoid.The fuel is added through the same nozzle as the nitrous.These kits are known to produce more hp.You will deffintly need a window switch.I have played with a lot of kits and my favorite is the NX kits.If you have any questions give me a call and ill school you.
