Many years ago I used to use NOS and was sponsored by the company.

I would recommend not using it. It is very difficult to set up safely and use efficiently.

Set up the handling or uprate the brakes to increase your speed and acceleration.

Useful for turbo engines to cool the inter cooler but I would stay clear.

I had a 100 shot on progressive control on my MR2 turbo.

I always feel like nos is cheating somehow.

I have somewhere a selection of vaporised pistons and rings in my black museum of broken parts.
A lot of time and effort was spent getting it to work, when it worked it was brill, all went tits up with some dirty fuel, blocked the inline NOS fuel filter, leaned out big time, goodbye 8 pistons.

Speak to the Wizards - http://forum.nitrous-advice.org they will put you straight on the myths and legends behind Nitrous. They are without a doubt the best kits on the market, however the guy who owns it is a little too brash and confrontational about competitors IMO.
I have one of their kits I picked up from a member here, I plan on testing it on the Clio, then adding it to the kitcar, its a 4 port kit with progessive controller so should work nicely.
Its 90% installed on the clio, just need to tap the fuel line and fill the bottle.
