How difficult is a Dry Nitrous setup (to install/use)
I have a basic understanding of how Nitrous works, but I've never actually installed or used one. A Dry kit seems to be more within my skill level than a wet system and i'd like to know how to install and use one.

Pretty simple. There's always tons of help here, and ls1tech. There's also a really good thread over there on "wet vs. dry". It isn't a question of "less trouble", but more of "what trouble" you want to do. Small shot (under 100hp) dry system is very simple, no tune or injectors needed. After that, dry systems require larger injectors and tune. Wet isn't really much more difficult to set up, but then you can tune with the swap of jets.

Dry 100hp and under is pretty much not a problem on a stock or slightly modded car. Biggest thing to watch is fuel pressure and timing/knock when first trying it out to verify conditions are good.

What's required as far as electronics go?
I probably won't be going over 100 shot. I have a stock engine with 115K on it. I"d prefer not to blow up.
reccomendations on dry kit brands/models?

There are a lot of choices you just need to read up on Tech and see what you want. I did a lot of research before I picked out my system.

Wide Open Throttle switch, window switch are the bare basics. If you want add an air/fuel shutoff switch and a fuel pressure safety switch for an extra safety cushion.

That's very true. I've forgotten how many gadgets they've come out with in the last year (for dry set-ups). All the ways we 'made' it work (correctly) are now just a 'dial in' and go.
Glad to see you're still around Robert. Most of us would still be lost in the nitrous woods without your help. Even though I've jumped ships, I still dig the n2o sections of the forums.
