Ive got the school run(on the way there with no kids) down to 12mins 36 seconds. NOS got to be worth extra couple of seconds.

I'd say Nitrous is only really useable for drag racing, on the basis that a 10 second squirt is fine, but I wouldn't want to use it any more than that!
I ran with it in a hillclimb car decades ago, before the RACMSA banned it.
We were the first to set up a customers Impreza using Nitrous, and the Simtek ECU to control it, and it works just fine! You'd be better off asking Martyn about it, but basically it has all kinds of compensation factors built into the set up, including which gear to use how much nitrous, etc. We'll have another play with our own test car when we get around to it, just flat out busy right now doing other stuff.
If you are already running 500 plus, and want more, that's the time to use it really, and don't forget it's forced induction pretty much like any other method, and that much extra cylinder fill has to be accounted for somehow.
Other than that, there are so many other options for Scooby tuning, I'd go for those first.

Do you need to display warning signs on the car if you have a NOS bottle fitted to warn the emergency services in case of an accident? In fact is it legal to use on the road??
