Now...this could start a new thread about what is better, nitrous, blowers or turbos, but simply put they all have there pros and cons. The owner has to determine what he/she wants to live with.
I have had nitrous kits, and blowers on my car. I had a friend with a twin turbo set-up. They all make power. It's your cup of tea, you decide what you want. It's only natural to hate something that you dont have a true understanding for. Don't get me wrong...I have had people talk alot of shyte about nitrous until I put it on there car and tuned it. Now there're nitrous
junkies.
You don't have to have all the safety equipment to be safe because, if your still ignorant you're still going to break stuff. And that goes with everthing! It's not just prejudice to nitrous!

By the way, I am spraying my car with a 200-250 shot and it cost me a total of $1,200. That includes it's own fuel delivery system (seperate from the engine side) and all of the saftey stuff that I need. You tell me what what blower or turbo that I could get that will make the that much power for that much money. I can easily make that power with a blower and turbo but I will spend at least another $ 4,000.
I was trying to limit the discussion to nitrous but yeah all power adders have there draw backs.

I helped a friend hook up a vortech SQ trim blower to his 5.0. His timing retard box wasnt working right and he destroyed a set of aluminum heads and his block in 3 days.
