Honestly, the sky's the limit. Anything you can do with turbocharging (or supercharging), you can also do with nitrous. Note however that large 'shots' of nitrous are a bit trickier to tune for, since both timing and air/fuel have to be adjusted in concert. Note that, just as with na-t turbo kits running a higher amount of boost, you'll need to run a thicker headgasket and/or change your pistons.
