So....was it worth it to add nitrous???
I mean...when it was all said and done and tuned...Were you like whoa!!! **** yeah???
Its a huge gain over what I had...I don't regret this decision by any means?
Or was it kinda like ehhh...should've saved for a turbo setup...

Fo me it was worth it simply because it was so cheap to do. I personally really like since it allows me to get really agressive n/a, and not have to worry about things like compression, overlap, etc...To me a 100 is VERY noticable, but I honestly thought it would feel more impressive lol

Well, considering that a 150 shot will give you the sotp feeling of all of your mods so far, combined, I would say yes.

I'm in my 50's and never had it on anything I've owned and swore I never would...Well my latest car (in sig) had a wet kit on it when I bought it. I wanted to stay conservative so I only put a 100 shot in it. It picked up .8sec and 11mph in 1/4mile and my cam "doesn't even like nitrous".
That being said, I would give it the FY as you stated

I like it. Just about everything I have ever owned has had nitrous on it. I dig it... it is cheap and super easy to set up (as long as you stay small). I got my first 11 second pass with my old car that just had bolt ons, a converter, drag radials and 100 shot. Then backed it up on my current car with a M6.
The only reason I decided to go turbo was because it is pretty bad *** for a street car to have that kind of adjustablitly from 600rwhp-1000rwhp. Now that I am about 2 years into this build and several thousands of dollars spent, sometimes I wished I would have just stayed with nitrous and put together a bigger motor. LOL!!! I guess I will see when I finally get it fired up.

Absolutley worth it. Best money spent on my car bar none. I was impressed with my car stock, fast and responsive. Then i hit the spray and, well like u said, **** yeah! Couldnt keep up with buddies goat before from a roll, enter 100 shot, and had him by 3 cars. Then he sprayed too lol, but its a heck of a kick in the *** for sure. Pound for pound, literaly, cheapest hp u can add.
1200 for 150 hp, 8 bucks a hp. Turbo or supercharge, at least ten times that.

When you start going to bigger motors and bigger shots, it starts to really get impressive. You start tuning a car using different jets instead of the recommended jets by the manufacturer and you start to tell yourself " Hey, this is free horsepower!!"
I had a old school 23* sbc in a 68 camaro and a softly tuned 150 shot went 9.57@138. Still had a second stage but that is a different story.

My car is fun on the motor. I feels strong and sounds good. On nitrous the whole tone changes. It has a crisp eager feel to it, pulls like crazy and it just sounds f-n angry! So, hell yeah, it is worth it. Just be prepared to be ruined. Once you have it, you will want it all the time.
