I ran a 75 shot (Nitrous Express wet kit) on stock pistons and rods for 3 months with no problems. I just rebuilt my bottem end with 10.5 compression so I can spray a 100+ shot.
First do a compression check to make sure your engine is in good shape. Next take your car to get a tune up, you want to make sure you have no problems before you spray. Get new spark plugs that are one range colder than stock. Alot of people here spray a 75 shot on stock internals. If you are worried about safety you can get a fuel pressure safety switch (it will cut off the nitrous if your fuel pressure drops). A purge valve is not a must, but it is nice to have. The purge valve will clear your nitrous lines of any air, and fill them with nitrous.
Your car is a 98 so you will need a wet kit. Nitrous Express and NOS make good kits for our cars. Venom also makes a kit, but I have never used it so I can't give you a review of it.
Hope this helps, if you have anymore questions just email me and I'll be able to help you.

I squeezed a 60 shot on my GS for over a year, no problems. My car had over 100K miles on it.
You are not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your fu**ing post count.
