Default Pros and Cons of nitro...im debating

Ok dont get mad or anything i know i always ask opinions about wheels and yadda yadda...that was the old NBP ITR 01-622...now here's my thing

I need a daily driver cuz that what my R is. So therefore i cant do mods that will kill my mileage. Well i can make some sacrifice but i cant do any HUGE engine mods. As some ppl know, i was thinking about turbo (still am) but thats too much $$ and i dont think i'd really ever use it cuz i dont really autox altho i'd like to start but turbo doesnt really matter in autox as much as it does on track racing but i dont do any of that till i go to racing school (looong time). So I guess im basically looking for a fast(er) straightline car ...so what do u guys say to Nitrous? Nothing crazy maybe 40-60 shot.
Cuz then maybe at first when i get it i'll use it a lot, but after that it'll just be when i run people. So then when nitro is off (95% of the time) it wont matter, but w/ turbo it'll always be there...and also nitro is friggin way the hell cheaper than turbo.

the following is probably i'll im gonna do to my car:

Spoon Headers
AEM CAI
Lighther wheels
Toda Spec A's

On a post a couple days ago, I forgot who it was was telling me about titanium retainers and all those goodies. Thanks whoever u were, sorry i forgot tho So should i do the upgrades to my valvetrain to prep for the extra punch of nitro?

what must i/should I do to prep my car for nitrous, and does anyone have any suggestions to which nitro kits are best? zex, venom, and (ugh damn FnF) NOS seem to be the most popular....

Default Re: Pros and Cons of nitro...im debating (NBP ITR 01-622)

I would suggest i/h/e (comptech icebox, dc jdm header, smsp exhaust)

and a good clutch is needed when running N2O

I've done some research and Zex is probably the safest on the market

List: Zex 50 shot (wet direct port), MSD window activation switch, Bosch #4227 spark plugs and a relief valve
