I know oc has different views on this, but first off, people try to put nitrous on a little bitty Dseries and expect some huge amount of power. Those that go too far end up ruining the motor prematurely. Nitrous is a cheap and somewhat dangerous way to create hp (depending on how it's done). Ever since TF&TF nitrous has become the simple way to slap hp on your car. I personally think nitrous should be used as a last resort. After you've done all that you can, then you bring in the N2O. Even then, alcohol or water injection might be a better choice.
I just see it as a band-aid for hp. That's jmo.
