Default Nitrous for low end torque?

Ive always been told that nitrous is more for mid to higher end torque and power since you never want to spray at low RPMs or in low gears. So is there really a way to set up a nitrous system for low end power where you could spray at lower RPMs and gears or not? Probably a newb question. Sorry.

The problem is the timing and compression.. The only thing you can do is shoot a lower spray or you may have problems with detonation. There is no documentation on this to my knowledge. You can shoot nitrous almost as soon as you get tire grip in a Tiburon because you'll be at 4000RPM.

I think that is a quick way to get a piston out through the oil pan.

well it is not uncommon for people with a small motor and super big turbo,they use nitrous to get that big turbo spooling at lower rpms since nitrous increases a lot of torque.

I can tell you for a fact that shooting a 50 shot under 3000 RPM will destroy your intake. It backfires.
