I have slowly incremented up from a 100HP - 150HP shot. Hopefully I get to make a few more runs in before the weather gets cold and it goes under "The Knife" for a new cam. Then I will drop back to 100 HP shot before going back to a 150 shot.
To each his own, but I wouldn't dream of running a nitrous kit without a window switch and a fuel pressure switch at a minimum for safeties. You incident reinforces why. What happens when you break and you spray deep into the limiter? What happens if the fuel pump packs it in on the back half? And the 6L80 doesn't have a stellar reputation, I dunno if I'd be spraying through the shifts with a stock one.

You've obviously had good success with your setup, proof that you don't need those additional safety margins. In my mind, the potential to be bitten in the ass greatly outweighs the cost.
