Default dual shot? or not

i'm looking at building a nitrous kit for myself. i want a couple things from it.
1 it has to be hidden (so im gunna go dry) but i just want it out of sight, i dont care if the bottle is in the spare tire location.
2 i dont want it to hit very hard, so should i go dual stage dry or with a progressive controller or both?

im thinking of getting a hidden halo kit through the filter, with the edge or the fjo, i like the edge more but i dont know how big it is and if i could mount it somewhere people wouldnt see it(like the glove box and just pull it out when i need it) but if i didnt get a progressive i would want a dual dry hidden with the first stage of 50 and the second stage of 75.

car is a 98 z28, has 224/228 110 cam, ls6 intake, prc ls6 heads, walbro pump, 42 green tops, pacesetter headers and hooker catback, 3.42 gears and a 3200 stall, powerbond ud pulley, a bunch of suspension parts.

i dont really have a budget but lets try and keep it under 1200-1500

Contrary to popular belief, there's no correlation between hidden and dry. Do a search for "hidden" or "hide" because there are plenty of threads with pics of hidden solenoids, hidden controllers, etc.

That's where most users install it, in the glove box. There is a single cable coming off the side that connects to a break out box for all the elec. connections so pulling it out to load a different file is no problem.

didnt mean it to sound like that, anyways i already have the injectors and dry is easier to hide, so thats how i wanna go.

Theres more positive correlation b/w hidden and dry then wet and hidden! Poof ! Trickest dry I've seen is the standard nozzle poking thru the filter, all lines and hoses of course wrapped and the 42lb injectors painted, so there was no lime green staring at you! Pretty nice setup.
