I have a P1SC Procharger. Below 3,500 not much happens above that hang on. You can drive it like an ordinary car and never know it's there. No bottle, no explosions, no running out when you need it. Installed and tuned right = very few problems.

Do not know anything about NO2, but I love the results from my DS1C setup. One thing that I really like is the whine and that the power is always ready to unleash at a little modulation of my right foot My car drives around town normally, until I decide to mash the go button and if I really want to launch above 3200 there is nothing but smoke so this power under the curve means since I do not have this so called power I drive normal with no issues and have Sick HP always at my disposal and just love the boost and no bottle to refill

So do you think that my 3.90 gears and 3200 stall converter will still behave the same way it does now and give me an advantage in the low RPM range until the Procharger kicks in? Will I notice the loss of my Vararam intake on the low end? What can I expect?

Any opinion regarding the 3.90's & torque converter helping out until the boost kicks in?

My opinion is that it will make a lot of smoke without some slicks.

I know in Kansas, cops don't care. We have tons of cars down here that run have the bottle in their rear seat. We had the cops raid a meet down here a while ago, and they didn't care about the bottles(they looked in all the cars). Here it seems that the cops are more worried about racing on teh street, and busy roads. As long as we are off the roads, and not speeding, they don't care.
