Question Edelbrock Nitrous Kit

Does anyone on this site run an Edelbrock Performer EFI Wet Kit?? I'd like some opinions. Even if you don't have one, but have heard some things about it, then i'd like your opinions too. And for peeps that are already running nitrous, what's it like purging?? I know it's gotta be sweet, rollin up to a red light beside the dreaded incounter with a Ford Festiva "Type-R"......he revs, you rev, he revs again, you purge, he sees the plume of nitrous and looks down in shame.....haha. Thing of beauty. Anyways, another ? for anyone running N2O....how much more pull do you actually get with nitrous? I mean like, i know the edelbrock system says you get from 40-60 more HP, but do you get the same increase in torque? Would that much hp even throw you back in your seat?? Sorry if i sound .
