You don't need NOS. Run of the mill nitros oxide will do.
1. It's expensive. Don't expect too much fun time on that tank before fillup.
2. Don't expect your engine to last long if you use it too much.
3. It's illegal. Don't expect sympathy if you crash it and kill someone, or just plain crash, and it's discovered you have a nitros bottle in the boot. Plus you can't get insured.
3. Watch mad max instead of F&F.

NOS - Nitrous Oxide Systems - a (well known...) brand of N20 - bear this in mind before you look like you've been watching sh!t and glitter movies too much 
There's no reason a small shot of nitrous can't be fed into your 4ag - at your local sanctioned drag strip...
Hell for cheapness/ease of installation, and push button 'grin factor' nitrous can't be beat - if you can get away with it.
Don't force too much through a stocky engine though, make sure it's got enough fuel (namely that the poor old pump is up to it!), and maybe try some boost instead cos then you can have 'grin factor' full time without having to fill a silly little bottle after a couple of minutes...
Don't get caught

Time to do some homework, check this out.
http://www.nitrousexpress.com/faq.html
I'm thinking of a 35Hp shot on a wet system setup. Have a look at this months Hot4's and read about Miatasports's results of nitrous on a Mazda MX-5 in the tech section.
Oznos ( http://www.ozrace.com)seem to package quite reasonably price kits as well. I think maybe budget around the $1,000 mark for something local or $1,500+ for something imported from the US. I'm leaning towards NX over NOS because of better quality product.
Easy option is sell the 4AGE and get a 4AGZE if your going to keep the car for a few years.

I'd say that that would be the cheapest (in the end), and most legal option. Best idea too.
