Default HOW to use NOS properly??

hey guys i am new to the idea of nitrous and was wanting your input on how to properly use it. are there certain internals that i would need to get in order to reinforce the engine for nitrous? also how is nitrous released? is a certain amount released when the purge button is pushed or does the button have to be continuously held down? my engine is totally stock with the exception that i have no cats. i had a turbo ta with heads and cam but wrecked it so starting over and thought i'd give nitrous a go but don't wanna ruin engine. any help or info would be appreciated. thanks

And don't call it NOS, it is Nitrous Oxide (N2O)

You're going to need a reinforced intake, as to make sure you don't blow the welds on it.

Gotta double clutch like you should, and it'll be fine.

you obviously don't know anything about nos.

op, don't forget arp studs on your seats and floor board. I''ve seen somewhere where someone blew off the floor pan with too big of a shot. you won't need to keep it continuously spraying. one press of the little red button is enough to blur the road.

really though, i don't know anything about naws......
