ZEX Nitrous - a good or bad idea? general thoughts..

Hello boys and girls - I've been doing a little research about N2O and think that ZEX's kit for the 5th gen looks pretty cool. I've never installed a nitrous kit before but it seems like doing it right should pose no real threat to my engine. The ultimate goal for me is "mechanical" forced induction, but in the mean time I've been thinking this would be a fun way to light up my summer for under $800. What do you think? I couldn't find many threads on this.

About my car and driving habits: non-drag racer, occasionally I gun it on the highway but nothing too severe. Might take it to the track next month though and see what it can do. I have nothing on my driving record and am what I would consider to be a "average, responsible tax-paying driver" looking for a little more.

Current mods: Livernois dyno tune, kooks long tubes, CAI intake, noweeds diverters.

I've heard a lot about why I need a N2O specific tune - do guys like Livernois and Jannetty do that? I don't have a hand held tuner currently but might pick one up if I need it.

Questions:

--how much can be safely sprayed into a NA L99?
--how long does a bottle last?
--any bad long term effects?
--other things a rookie N2O experimenter needs to seriously consider before buying?
