NO! No dry shot. Your factory ECU will not be able to properly adjust the fuel and timing trims to account for the nitrous. A wet kit will be a better choice.
Also, like mentioned above, purchase a purge unit and bottle heater. This will give you a faster response at the "hit" of the throttle. Also, for down-track performance, the bottle heater will continue to deliver the full shot and keep the nitrous pressure at a constant.

I think Zex has its own kind of fuel management... I think Mike had to tap in to the shrader valve on the fuel rail for it to get accurate readings on pressure. (presumably)
but detonation scares the heck out of me too... I have seen a lot of older cars die by the bottle, its not a pretty sight.
But a good install is going to take into account a/f and fuel pressure...

Yes, the shrader valve should be a 1/8" NPT fitting. This will allow a 1/8" NPT to -4 flare male to be used as a fuel supply.
The only thing that you may want to consider is a fuel pressure gauge. Even though the ZEX kit has a fuel pressure saftey switch, you may want to visually be able to see a drop in fuel pressure. This will help understanding ACTUAL pressure drop, instead of seeing a voltage value.
