Nitrous plumbing A1A...??..

Well I feel I have a lot of things to try right now before I get to the nitrous but the big swap meet is going to be in a little over 60 days so I'd like to have my knowledge together so I can start finding the parts...
I guess if I could pick up a nitrous bottle at a reasonable price that would start me off pretty happy.. honestly I really like the looks of the Speedmaster cheater plate? It seems to inject a nitrous from around the edges? Their reviews are total crap and of course I'd be a needle in a haystack for somebody who actually used one. Again I like the design in the fact that it doesn't have the bar going through the center for when you're not using it... And of course the price! LOL...
To $53 cheater plates about $200 for solenoids and a Purge kit and a little under 200 for a bottle.... And of course I have to buy Jets and throttle triggers and wiring and all that stuff and that's going to add up as well. Then you look at the entire kit for just about $800 and you end up not saving a whole lot if any at all...and even at that I would want some smaller jets for starting out as well I matter what the guy on the techline said...
