Default Nitrous Newbie looking for some advice

Admitting total newbie in the nitrous game. A local guy has a complete used zex wet set up (250 shot, 3 solenoids, pillar pod, all connections) for sale with a 40 lb bottle minus the straps for $250 and has me really considering it. It was on his '02 C5Z and he is going a different route with his build. What do I need to know before I go ahead and scoop this up?
It won't get alot of use but could fun to have for the right occasion. I've been reading what I can on the forum today and figured a post asking was worth a shot.

Thanks in advance.

I dont think they make a 40lb bottle, but for the price seems like a good deal to if its in good condition. To run it safely IMO you will need a window switch, bottle heater and timing retard box at minim.
