I'd strongly recommend a computer controlled direct port dry nitrous setup all controlled from the cockpit.



and you are asking for the engine to blow up in about 3 or 4 minutes.... i would never run a direct port kit and rely on a seperate computer to have my injectors control the extra fuel....

and your quote on high compression is good for nitrous... you are the first person i have ever heard say that... when running high compression... you need to retard timing (or high octane fuel, or combination of both) in order to not get pinging.... well with nitrous your cylinder pressures are even greater, meaning you are now retarding timing even further in order to not ping....

think of it this way... at 580* (or whatever it is) n2o breaks down into N and O2, and since n2o is 2X as dense as air and contains more oxygen per molecule than air, you are effectively supercharging/turbocharging your engine by feeding it much more air... and we all know high compression and forced induction can only be accomplished with a very well tuned engine...

sure you can do it... but i would stay away from it


EDIT:
straight from the Holley web site

Q: Can high compression engines utilize nitrous oxide?
A: Absolutely. High or low compression ratios can work quite suitably with nitrous oxide provided the proper balance of nitrous and fuel enrichment is maintained. NOS kits are used in applications from relatively low compression stock type motors to Pro-Modifieds, which often exceed 15 to 1. Generally, the higher the compression ratio, the more ignition retard, as well as higher octane fuel, is required. For more specific information talk to one of our technicians.

so yeah it can work, but you will need to tune it to make it work..... and well i'm also not in the mood of needing to buy 100+ octane gas just so i can juice it
