Question Nitrous Good Idea/ Bad idea?

Any of you guys running Nitous? I was thinking about getting a kit and was wondering if there are any pro's and or con's to doing it. Also who I might have install it and how much is a reasonable price of that if infact I do go with it. I have a '98 M6 TA with just a lid and cat back...

Thanks Guys,
Chris

It's a good idea if you want to make power cheap. The only real con is you have to pay to refill the bottle. All I can say is, do your homework and learn as much as you possibly can, do the kit right the first time (don't skimp), and tune the car on a wideband. I would also reccomend that you install the system yourself, because when a problem comes up your going to want to know the system like the back of your hand.

Pretty much what GM muscle said.

Nitrous does add up in parts when you add the safety's.We ussually do the TNT kit with,purge,bottle warmer,window switch,nitrous gauge,and controller on bigger kits.Also use heavy duty relays to control the solinoids.A kit like that ussually takes me 8hours to put in.(to give you an idea how long)
