Does more for you down low. If you have traction.
So down low drops et increase mph some.
Up top. Will increase mph but et will not drop as much as if you hit it down low.

also 50hp might not do much as you think in the scheme of things.
Say a truck makes 250 to the ground. At 50 shot you will feel that pretty good bump percentage in hp.
Now if you are making 600 to the ground. That same 50shot will feel weak and might not feel it at all.

Also cools things off. Foose04 runs a 50 shot a good bit. follow his threads.

Why not up the boost? Unless boost limited the n20 isn't needed unless ya need spool time

You could get the 50hp by upping the boost 2-3 psi unless, as said, you want to lower your 1.6ft and combat lag at low end. Cost wise, you could get the 50hp cheaper by increasing the boost, if your setup can handle it. Your tune will tell.

Are you turbo or supercharged? Turbo, just up the boost with a controller setup unless you need it to help spool. Supercharged, I'd run the spray for a quick bump.

I would just wait save up to internal work and do a bigger turbo for even more boost. But that's just me. Lol

Spraying on top of a turbo is a riot. Don't knock it unless you've tried it lol.
