Since i realized that installing the supercharger or turbo on my V6 is not really affordable for me right now, i thought about some Nitrous System...its a lot cheaper and can gain some nice HPs. So i was just wondering if theres anybody that knows more about that, and how good/bad Nitrous is! Any advice! P.S. also i heard about some Vortec Cyclone, anybody has any idea about that!

NX is the best kit out there. To run it safely if you are buying all new parts and getin it dyno tuned which is recommended you're looking at around 1500-1700 bucks for everything

Wow, that's kinda overpriced, unless you're including installation, then it's reasonable.
My recommendation; ColdFusionN2O.com nitrous kit. 50-75hp dry kit. $500-ish MSD RPM controller $100 XCal 2 $300 if you shop around Dyno time $400 going off of prices in my area.
You can save the money with dyno time by buying from a reputable shop such as VMPTuning and they'll hook you up with proven tunes for your application, saving all the dyno time and added expense.
There's really no difference in which nitrous company you go with since all the parts are pretty much made by one or 2 suppliers. The bottles are all pretty much the exact same, since DOT regulates it, Cold Fusion includes guages on all their bottles which is nice. All solenoids are made by a comapny called adams & adams, regardless of who's name is on the outside. I personally don't like the box kits, I like exposed solenoids, easier to work on and look prettier IMHO.
The MSD controller is in case you over-rev, and ask some of the guys around here and they'll tell you exactly how sh!tty a day that is. It's cheap insurance.
Now just keep in mind, speed is not cheap, ever. If you go cheap on a big power adder, then expect to spend a whole hell of a lot more. So you can go quick for around $1000. This is the most economical way I can explain while still having a good safety margin.
You will still need to buy some complementary items to help see the biggest gain from your nitrous kit, such as intake, exhaust, gears, t-lok, etc.
Just don't be scared of nitrous, it is a very reasonable modification if used properly, it's when you act retarded with it that bad things happen, but the same goes for anything, it just tends to be a lot more expensive with power adders.

I know it's not cheap but I am planing on spending $1500 maximum $2000, and according to your advice that would be enough (maybe even more) for a decent Nitrous System. Now the question is safety; because that is like a bomb in a car. I don't know anybody that has or ever had Nitrous so I don't have enough info from the first hand. Also i have million more little questions like: can you turn off the Nitrous System if you want to and drive without it for awhile, or what if the car is outside all summer on like 80+F can that cause anything to the bottle?

OK for your application, the dry kit is the best bet, it's safer to depend on your fuel injectors to provide more fuel than a seperate fuel solenoid.
Yes it can be turned on and off at will. You should never drive with your nitrous kit armed, it's an accident waiting to happen, unless you are at a track drag racing.
I've bottle in my trunk where the outside temp reaches 105*, with the inside being much higher, never an issue.
If you ask a lot of questions and follow everyone's KNOWLEDGABLE advice, then it really is as safe as any other mod out there. Hell N2O is non-flammable, didn't you know that? lol j/j but really, it's non-flammable.
FRPP and everyone has their "DRAG PACK", This is my "DRAG PACK":
