More Nitrous with Turbo Questions

Okay, so I own a 12a TD05 Starion turbocharger with a miniscule 250 CFM capacity, on a good day. So my HP would be limited to 180 HP if I'm lucky. But the spool rate would be tremendous. The low down grunt I'm missing at 2000 - 4000 rpm should be dramatic. But after 4K the power would cut due to lack of airflow. Could nitrous oxide help out at top end? Assume I have forged rods and pistons with 8.8:1 dish, and I am running 14 psi.
If I milked the 12a TD05 for all its worth, (intercooler, tuned manifold, 3 inch down pipe) would NOx take my powerband to 6500 RPM? And how much NOx could I run if only used occasionally???
Remember, this is my DOHC Automatic neon, which suffers at low end and is limited to 6500 rpm redline. I street drive everyday, but would take to test and tune once or twice a year. Sounds like the best of both worlds, extra ounce of power down low for the street, and extra ounce for racing.

Suggestions? I'll never be able to sell that TD05 12a anyway, might as well use it. I could always use nox for WOT and later down the road send the to majestic later and upgrade to 20G. That with the nox should quench my thirst for ultimate street power. So my real dilemma now is what to do first? Who wants to see me blow up the stock 2.0L?

If the block is stock u will deff blow it up, lol.... i would run the nos at wot, that is what i am going to do with my setup, but when my block is built..lol, u can run them to spool ur turbo faster if u had a monster turbo... i have thought about that but i kinda like alittle lag... easier to get some traction... but anyway... i have not exparemented with both of they my together so i can not tell u what one works better than the other... i will know in about a year... lol.... good luck, sorry i could not help more

Alright, thanks DT, yeah give about year for this one. I want the 12a on this summer, but I won't have forgings for awhile. The NOx kits are so compeling though. With the automatic DOHC, the hardest launch I can do with the stock converter is 2000 rpm. I can't even break a tire loose unless its wet and the power doesn't come on till 4K. With a T3/T4, I'm sure that won't change because of the lag. I want to leap off the line with torque, and finish strong with NOx
