Default nos on the track good idea or not?

just about to order my NOS kit, but started thinking if it was really worth ordering it, is it a good thing to have on a track car, or would it be better spending that same amount on the engine doing other things?

well it dont last long

on 75jets you get 3 minutes worth of use

and its normally about 50quid to refill the bottle

so if you using it a lot on track it seems a bit expensive

not too much worried about the cost of the refill , just dont want it to be a waste of space really, if all you get is 3mins, then fook it, i would rather spend the money on other means of gaining performance,
