what nitrous kit for my TPI

I have an 87 350 TPI that i want to put some squeeze to, but what kit sounds best. Its fairly stock, mild port work, a little bigger cam. I would like to shoot around 100 safe. Its a rebuilt motor, powdered metal rods. so its stronger than stock, and runs pretty good. Im going to be bolting on some 1 5/8 primaries headers soon too. what kit sounds best and can i go bigger and still stay safe? I think a wet kit will be best, but im not made of money either. Thanks for your help.

I know that there are alot of kits out there, but i was kind of wondering what people thought of the power range I was looking at and whats safe. I dont have much experience with TPI or Nitrous. But thanks alot for the reply, atleast someone replied.

I have the NOS 05151 wet kit and I've run 4 bottles through a 120k mile L98 with no problems @ 150 hp of a shot. Damn, that's a bad run on sentence.

Anyway, get a fuel pressure safety switch. Mine kicked in at only a 100 shot, which prompted me to upgrade my fuel pump. Other than that, you should be fine on your fresh motor. I have stock block, rotating assembly, and heads, haven't even had a hiccup.

well you should defenitly be able to run a 100 shot, 125 if you want that little more umph, and 150 if you feel like possibly taking a chance.
