I agree with you on the meth part. it's a bandaid for a shit fuel system or shit fuel. I want to hit people when they say "I made these numbers without alky/meth" well no shit retard you shouldn't need either of those if you have a decent tune or you're just making more than your motor can handle with regular gas.
I've had nitrous on every car i've owned since I was 16, it's as natural to me as starting the car up - you just need to know your limits, when to use it and who to trust tuning it.
I've had bottles go empty while racing all the time - extra fuel for a little bit isn't going to hurt anything. However having a fuel solenoid fail and stick closed or having a nitrous solenoid freeze open after a run will ruin your shit with the quickness.
The kit is on baby settings right now at 150 until I do all the safety stuff (fuel pressure regulator, window switch, etc) and have the trans built with a brake to spray 300+
or I could spend 4500 and have a turbo kit fabbed up.... but like I said above as a daily driver that's just way too much. I'd rather go to the track and click off a nine and drive home with half the horsepower than be 9 second capable all the time
