Yes it is, and here's why:

With a wet nitrous setup, you are providing the air and fuel *independently* of what the engine normall runs. It has no idea you're adding air/fuel at the ECU. You're sneaking it in, so to say.

You aren't moving any more air through the MAF, but rather, adding it (mixed with fuel) further on down the line.

As for the progressive setup: If you think of nitrous as a liquid (like water) coming out at a steady rate....and the engine spinning at an ever-increasing rate...you'll get the idea of how nitrous really flows. It is linear: the flow stays the same. Yet...the engine doubles (or even triples) its number of rotations. This is with a regular single-or-direct port setup with no controller.

So, as Andreas pointed out, a 75hp shot at 3,000rpm is in reality only a 37.5hp shot at 6,000rpm. The engine has doubled its speed, but the flow of nitrous has remained constant.

I see no reason why a stock-ish SR20 couldn't handle a 200hp shot, as long as it was ramped up correctly. Dan Paramore (DPR) and I had long talks about this 2 years ago.

This will take some experimentation.
