One thing to remember about nitromethane is it's also explosive... Much 
more so than gasoline.  The other point Bruce brought up was whether it 
will stay mixed in Gasoline... All the engine management and tuning won't 
help if the Nitro settles out...
A cure to get the nitromethane there all the time with the gas is use 2 
injectors per port... Then run 2 fuel systems... one for the gasoline and 
the other for the nitromethane.  May need to use 2 ECM's "piggybacked" and 
adjust the fuel tables in each to get the proper balance.
