If the s2000 can't handle a 100 shot (wet) in stock form then I wouldn't advise it. Why?
Anything besides a direct-port kit isn't worth the time or the money; its not safe for the engine. The reason I say 100 shot is because even at that level the jets are so small that just about anything in the fuel or n2o can clog the jet and cause a failure.
Another thing you need to consider is the 'shock' brought on by the activation of the system, this shock can put excessive wear on your cv's and your diff (along with the motor but thats obvious).
So basically, if you are trying to find cheap power nitrous is not the way. In the long run you will spend more on the juice itself and the maintenance for the wear it causes.

Modifry ran nitrous for a while, without any problems at all, and the only reason he upgraded to FI was because he got tired of refilling the bottle all the time (which tells you how hard he was driving the car). Lots of people think it's a horrible thing to do to the S2000, or any car for that matter, but if it's done right, it will work perfectly without causing any problems. Modifry has proven this beyond even the slightest shadow of doubt. 
I would suggest contacting Modifry directly and asking him about his experience. You may well want to use one of his redline shift beepers to gate the nitrous. I think that's what he used (and that's why the beeper has the capability to gate nitrous).

There are too many people, even on this site, that have given this setup a bad name... There was one guy that posted recently, who posted multiple SE's with a 125 dry shot... the setup ran great until he bent 6 exhaust valves, and scoured a bore... He wasn't adding any additional fuel! Do it right the first time...

I ran nitrous on my built srt-4 for quite some time but I took the extra steps for system safety and a clean direct port kit.

If you are looking for nitrous to compare to a sc kit, then stop. As it is a non-aftercooled sc kit can be had and installed yourself for ~$3-4k. A decent nitrous kit can be had and installed for ~$500-1k, however refills are not cheap.
At around $3-5 per pound, you are looking at $60-100 per refill of a 20lb bottle. A 100 shot uses ~1lb per 12 seconds or figure a 20lb bottle lasting ~17-18 passes at a strip.
If you use 2 bottles a month for a total of 4 minutes of full throttle acceleration, you will be spending $1440-2400 per year on refills. Add in the original kit and after just 1 year you are looking at the price of a used sc kit.
It really depends on how often you think you will be using it.
Also note that nitrous injection systems are not street legal in any state. More specifically a car with a nitrous injection system can only be driven on the street if a) the feed line going to the engine is removed or b) all containers are removed. Under no circumstances is it legal to activate the system.

yeah, i was assuming that i'd barely be using the nitrous. but the more i think about it, the more i lean toward the SC because i'm being offered one for a price close to that of a nitrous system and it seems less likely that i'd get in to trouble with that
