Well said. It is an urban legend that lower shot of nitrous will damage your motor. Some things just go away including the myth that nitrous will blow up your motor. A compression test is not necessary on a new car as you said. If my motor had 50,000 hard miles, yes, I might do a compression test before running nitrous, but a new motor has tight clearances.
