Well I have heard the same thing. Whether or not it is the spooling of the turbo, or the fact that at low RPMS nitrous is like torque in a bottle I dont know. If you add a 50 shot to your car and have it come on at 3000 rpms you will not miss the low rpm boost at all. With a 50 shot you will end up with at least 75ft/lbs more torque at 3000 rpms. That will dismiss the affects of any turbo lag you will have. Then when the turbo does get spooled up the nitrous will help to cool the intake charge about 70 degrees. This in turn will make the turbo far more effective. I guess the turbo may even spool faster because with the extra air coming in at low rpms the more air will be expelled. Whether this makes as much difference as having the 75 ft/lbs of torque I dont know. I guess that is something an engineer would have to explain. Im just a lowly police officer/mechanic.
But anyways the two make an awesome duo. So far all the 10second cars I have seen have used a 50 shot to help either get them moving, or to help cool the charge. So yes go for it.
