Nitrous is permanent power. It's because a shitload of retards are throwing on HUGE shots (100+ HP) of DRY, meaning, they're spraying nitrous oxide which adds a lot of air to the combustion, and no more fuel and expect the fuel system to magically add more fuel to compensate. When you spray WET, it sprays the perfect ratio of fuel to go along with the amount of nitrous. However, then you get people spraying also, huge shots, or on a fuel system that's worn down and doesn't make the same fuel pressure it used to. Fuel pressure drop, spike to lean, melt pistons, snap rods, etc.
The only reason carrying filled nitrous bottles is illegal is because you do not have the authority to transport that class chemical. It can be used as a drug (laughing gas, however most automotive use contains some sulphur or other toxic chemical so if you try it you die). As long as you have the proper papers for the material and display the proper warning label on the exterior of the vehicle it's perfectly legal.
Why the eff would using "nitrous" be any more illegal than any other power adder? You can use nitrous on the street without going over the speed limit, just like I can boost without speeding... cops just like to make it out to be that those with nitrous must be a "street racer" since that effing stupid F&F movie came out that made it look like nitrous tanks explode with blue fire in a car fire and cause floorboards to fall out.
When used properly, with low fuel pressure cutoffs and such, and with a reasonably sized horsepower addition amount, it's just as safe as forced induction.
