Default NOS question

Is NOS a bad thing on an engine? I'm looking at a 94 LT1 that has NOS setup. Good or bad?

My opinion on buying a vehicle that already has nitrous installed on it is a bad idea. You don't know how the person treated it while using the nitrous. I would buy a vette without nitrous that you know would have a better chance of not having damage, and then spend the extra money to have a nitrous kit installed. Nitrous kits are relatively inexpensive.

You dont know how much was used or for how long. It is a very bad idea to buy a car that had it. You don't know the life of the engine. This adds many miles to an engine when used, I know, I have used it many times on different cars. I dont use it anymore. It can run up a lot of money. I evenbut my own tank to refill my own bottles. Owning the tank it would cost me about $16 to fill my bottle. I had a lot of fun with it, Many people did not like me because of it. :D
