No one using nitrous anymore?
I never see anyone with it? Has nitrous use been phased out pretty much except for big block 1/4 mile racers? Maybe it was only popular when Fast & Furious movies were all about street racing and blowing welds on intakes?

Turbo setups have gotten cheaper. Not just the turbo, but the manifolds and supporting parts.

I have nitrous in the Genesis. 
But I was using it as an IC sprayer until I put in my bigger IC this spring. Then I'll get a new intake manifold since the 1st gen IM's are unequal lengths, causing cylinder 4 to lean out if you spray and then BOOM! So need to get a better IM before spraying.

I still want to get a nitrous kit for my car but the fear of blowing up my engine even with proper fuel delivery keeps the idea out of sight for me.
