About the only good use for nitrous in my opinion is drag racing. I don't see any Porsche as being a great drag car, and especially not with an M96. I consider Porsches to be more road racing/endurance type cars where balanced performance is key, not a few seconds of all out performance. Putting NO2 on one just sounds like a great way to blow head gaskets, break pistons or crack sleeves, and these cars already do a good job of that without spray. ANY failure on an M96 is expensive and almost always catastrophic.

I would put my money into correcting some of the inherent issues before turning up the wick.
