The nitrous will cool the incoming charge of air making it more dense. Depending on how hot the incoming charge is and how drastic the cooling effect is, I could see causing a slight increase in boost.

Rick, If you are wanting to run a bigger shot you may want to cut back a couple of pounds on the boost. The gains will probably be greater with the added nitrous over the couple pounds of boost you have to cut back to be safe. Whens the next time you'll be hiting the track? If you still need those tires I might be willing to cut a little more off the price.
