Nitrous : Which brand to run

After a year of tuning and some 5000 miles on the new combo I've come to the conclusion, I want to spray it. I feel comfy enough with my ability to tune at WOT so as not to lean out. I've read quite a few posts here and in the power adder forum and have come to the conclusion its either gonna the NOS plate kit or the Nitrous Express kit with the shark nozzle.

Baisc engine setup :
350 SBC .30 over, Edelbrock Performer aluminum heads, Comp Hyd. Roller Cam 218/224 112 LSA, Speed Pro Hyperutectic pistons, 10:1 CR, Edelbrock Performer intake, 2bbl TBI 1-13/16" bores w/BBC injectors @16psi, coated Edelbrock headers, 3" exhaust.

The NOS kit runs $580 and the NEX kit $730. Any extra bang for the bucks ? Experiences ? Suggestions ?

They are both descent kits. NX seems to have a great reputation around here, I have NOS because I got a great deal on a used setup.

Remeber to add in all the other stuff to run this, you will need a blow-down tube, misc electronics (likely a windows switch, FP saftey switch, etc).

Go with the NOS kit. I don't like the idea of nozzles with tbi. As far as accessories go, it can get expensive, but I would recommend the dyno tune bottle warmer because it is pressure controlled and adjustable, and the mallory 685 ignition to help control everything. You'll want a blow down tube and fuel pressure safety switch as well. Research a lot before you go into this!
