To nitrous or not?

Let's give this a hugely realistic view...
We're not talking to an 18-year-old kid here likely at least one that can have or build the motor described in post one...
With the money spent on the car and the motor I'm going to assume he's going to do quite a bit of research before he just lets it rip. Probably have his car pretty well tuned up and maximized before he starts a nitrous tune??.. I know my car is well tuned according to the spark plugs the AF gauge and throttle response and all around performance...
As far as a nitrous tune I got quite a few recommendations from Mike thermos himself other people in the know and the recommendations that came from Edelbrock with the nitrous plates themselves... (Which is basically the ones that I went with)..
just like when the op built the motor I'm sure he did a bunch of research and figured out exactly what he wanted to do before he slapped the money down on the barrel head...
In the end I'm going to say anybody with two brain cells is going to think this through back and forth before they pull the trigger...

I sure did do alot of research and watched alot of YouTube, hot rod, roadkill garage, and UTG before building my engine. I did learn alot from them, things I never really had done in the past. I wanted to make sure I wasn't pissing money away. The whole reason behind my thread now is to get opinions and ideas before I even think about cracking that bottle. I only ever messed with nitrous before in my old pulling truck. If you guys seen or heard how I ran it you'd cringe. I didn't gap rings on my hyper pistons, didn't go colder on my plugs, ran it off a push button, didn't use any safety modules....It was bad. I did however run VP110 and pulled timing out. All that on a plate system with 250 shot pills. I was young and dumb at that time. It did surprisingly hold together. Needless to say I was only WOT for 300' or less. Back then I was making minimum wage so at that time I still had a shitload of money(to me) in that engine. Looking back now and after doing research and asking on here, I was a dum dum. Lol. I definitely want to make sure I get my tune down off the gas first. I do thank each and everyone of you guys for the help. I really hate that my thread is starting a war, definitely wasn't intended for that. When I get closer to time I'm gunna call the guys mentioned above and get their opinions as well.
