I haven't read that thread yet, but I believe that vette was from a non-intercooled setup. Lots of heat to NOT help things. With only a 35 shot or even a 50 shot and using the "hype" that it's like a double shot on the radix you should be fine as long as (common phrase with all of us modders) you are using the nitrous under a good stout rpm, WOT, afr, IAT aren't in the 200's, ect. I am no expert, but I bet puddling is a big problem if you don't have rpm to get **** moving. I bet if we dig into most tragedies from nitrous or any "pushing the edge" set up it was due to some safety feature (or lack there of) failing, like a window switch. Exception these maniacs throwing 200+ shot to bolt on products.
A large shot has a higher chance to puddle due to the larger volume of nitrous. A 35to 75 shot going in at 3500+rpm and wot should be fine. Let off and the nitrous keeps spraying and your IAT's are up there, yeah...could be ugly.

It didnt throw my head back with a burst of thunder but it did pull thru the gears a bit quicker than usual 
I have not tried it from a launch yet but made 2 runs from ~40 mph and one on the highway from a 70 roll. and I think it addeda good punch. It is a 10% increase but it also dropped the rpms where peak tq is made. Now the lag at the bottom of the shift is gone!
Engine seems to eat it right up. I know a 50 shot is coming but Ill play this bottle out first.
Do you think I'll drop a few tenths?
