Get 4.10's and you will pull right into ur powerband. A centrifugal type blower like yours doesnt start making boost til around 3000rpm.
If you dont want 4.10's then get a Kenne Bell. Instant Boost

Excellent advice and quite true, however the original post was mostly sarcastic. The gem is in the video that I posted the link to in the original post 
You see the results of a lot of N2O with very low RPM in a very expensive Corvette

That's why we tune things. If you tune the kit properly there's no reason it should not work right.

Those kids filming suck. I'm sure they wouldnt be laughin like that if their friends car blew up. Sucks fo that guy who owns that vette. Bad day at the track for him.
I've been thinkin alot about nitrous lately, but i hear all these bad stories about how so much can go wrong. But i guess if your smart and do it right, with a good tune, its pretty reliable and trouble free. When the time comes i'll ask more question and get tips, But i'd rather do a single turbo setup. But nitrous is MUCH cheaper. Right now i just need to worry about getting the car done. HAHA

thats a perfect example of why u DONT use nitrous.
and i agree with Ninety5five0 those guys are dumbasses for thinking that was cool.
is NITROUS worth completely f**king over your car? do u really need it?

If you dont know what the hell you are doing nitrous is not the thing for you but if you are responsible with it and have your car tuned for it you should be fine with absolutly no problems... everyone considers nitrous the big bad wolf of the aftermarket performance world but its really not. I know locals who shoot 150 shots through their 5.0's DAILY for years without any problems....
