The biggest problems with nitrous are the facts that the basic kits usually don't have EVERYTHING you will want to keep it safe. You don't have to have it operated off of a window switch, but that can save you in case of a missed shift. Nitrous and a rev limiter can be a bad situation. The second problem can be that a "wet" shot is designed to inject the nitrous and fuel together. If this is done at a single point (or two in the case of the VQ) you are trying to inject fuel through an intake manifold that was never designed for a liquid (unlike a carb engine). This can (not always of course) cause fuel puddles which can lead to some of the engine backfires, or worse that you hear about. Only other thing to consider is that just like with boost, it will become addictive, and bottle refills aren't free.
