I know Steve and he's a great guy but I've heard good and bad....
I hear good an bad about alot of places. Its the ones that don't make the "bad ones" right that just make this industry go south.
I'm glad to see Steve get on here and back up his shop against these some "facts." Laughable? I'm kind of missing that part of it though to be honest. It sucks to see people just talk down about a business when that person didn't have a first-hand experience. I see this a lot with many companies.

Yeah, they were trying to convince me that an aftermarket head gasket would definately blow my engine, but nitrous was completely safe w/o tuning ... unique views
Headgaskets don't blow up engines, so if you actually sat there and listen to that then your just as wrong. Now as far as nitrous goes.....How long has nitrous been out for? How many years?
What were cars using for tuning before AEM, APEXI, HONDATA, and any other modern day Air fuel controller were out?
I mean back in 96 when I started doing this there wasn't more than a set of colder spark plugs and a timing adjustment on 75 shot kits. Rule of thumb is 20-25shot per cylinder is safe to run with only a cooler plug and changing the timing.
We have installed countless N2O kits on cars that all they had was what I stated above. 75 shot Hondas - 125 shot Hondas no problem. Dif plugs and timing adjustments.
Again we educate the customer, give them the options and they decide what they want to do. They are also recommended sometimes to go online to the manufactor of the products and do the homework, and learn.
Most Nitrous kits out there (except NX) give you HP to the flywheel. So if you put 100shot in your car. Its not really 100HP of nitrous your putting in it.
How many people buy DIY nitrous kits online, install them themselves and don't have a dyno in their area, or a wide band? TOOOOOOO MANY! Even here in Jax. There are quite a few folks I know that have 200 shots in their V8's and have never seen a dyno or wideband. Same applies to some import guys. So yes you can run nitrous with out tuning.

This thread is becoming laughable.
Would be nice if folks stayed on topic. I mean you yourself just posted
up above and yet find the need to be sarcastic over a keyboard. Appreciate the feedback though. Even though there was no "sense" in the response.
Nice!

It's becoming a he said she said thread. It's kind of like watching a presidential debate.
