How did nitrous get such a bad rep...?

I ran a bottle on my car when I lived in Colorado...since there isn't much atmosphere at high altitude, I figured why not bring your own atmosphere in a bottle, lol. Never had any issues. Sprayed it for ~ 8 years. My car went from high 13's at Bandimere to 11 flat on the bottle...granted, I built that motor specifically for nitrous use.

I agree that nitrous is the cheapest initial investment power adder, but in the long run, the refills add up pretty fast. That is the main reason I stopped using it (cost of refills)...well, that and I built a stroker motor that was faster than the 360 on the bottle. At my current power level I don't see the need for my old blue friend.
