one thing to think of, nitrous and turbo both accomplish the same thing-adding more air. so then, how is nitrous more dangerous than a turbo? it's not, even though i kinda got that vibe when reading this thread. isn't it nice that we don't really 'build' our motors to handle the extra pressures, yes refreshing the stock block is a good idea but nobody makes stronger rods and stroker cranks or forged pistons (or the equivelant to rotary). when you add more air you must add more fuel, eventually you'll get to a point where the engine can't handle the pressures which is when it will spit an apex seal or crack the face of a rotor. keep the timing slow and the fuel/air ratio consistently safe. also i didn't see mentioned holley's NOS top shot nitrous kit, if you can find it used $250 sounds possible, it just mounts the nitrous jets under the air cleaner and over the carb (don't know if it is a wet kit though).
