The Nitrous Express setup should work on all model years. The problem
with the other systems is that they're dry, so they rely on the fuel
injectors to get the proper fuel/nitrous ratio. The '94 and up trucks
got rid of the fuel return line, which makes it difficult to raise the
fuel pressure. The Nitrous Express systems are wet, meaning they inject
fuel along with the nitrous, so the fuel injectors do their usual thing,
and the additional fuel nescessary is injected right along with the nitrous
via a jet.
So far, there isn't really a comparison; Nitrous Express has a setup
for the '94+ trucks, NOS doesn't. By the way, Drag Racing Monthly is
currently running a 2 issue series on nitrous; you might still be able
to get the first part. It provided an interesting look at the mindset
and philosophies of the various nitrous system manufacturers. (Like,
why they do it they way they do, etc)
If you do decide to go with a wet system like this, the M1 intake
manifold would be a good thing to have. Its a wet manifold so it'll
reduce the chances of fuel puddling in the intake manifold and taking
the top of your engine off. The last I heard, the Nitrous Express setup
will work with the stock manifold, but they recommend the M1. Personally,
I was planning on getting the M1 anyway, but if you weren't this would
be an additional expense...
