Nos???

I was just wondering if this is a good buy or not. i found a NOS system for my car that i can get off of this guy at a used parts store for $353.00, it is the full setup, plumbing switches, etc. etc. is it worth it, allso the bottle comes prefilled?
Another thing, where could i get it refilled if i got it besides a car shop? (dont have any within 3 hours) And, what would i need to do to my engine and carb, could they handle it?

Engine- 350 bored .030 over, mild cam, all fresh parts and valvejob, ARP bolts (accidentally).

Carb- edelbrock #1405.

Ignition- new, but not special, cap and rotor, moroso 8.5mm wires, bosch platinum plugs. Also, ignition is HEI if it makes a diff.

Thanx in advance for any suggestions or comments.

Nitrous tends to eat up engines rather quickly. Typically, if you run it in a V8, you want to put in some forged pistons and better connecting rods to stregthen up the crank, then a true double roller timing chain or gear drive to help avoid engine damage from your timing grars going out. The price is not to great either, a new set up will be right around the same, and they come with instructions and warrantes. check out summit or jegs, they both have reasonably priced nitrous systems. The carb would be fine, just as long as it is tuned well.

also you have to use reagular spark plugs and not platnium becuz it will melt very fast once u hit that switch.
