well I would say "safe" It is all in the tune! With a bad tune you my be about to blow up now! But with good tune 25-50. And what injectors do you have (if the shot is dry)? What is the power you are at now?

Nitrous will definitely cool the intake temperature, but it will also add a LOT of cylinder pressure. When nitrous is used with forced induction, it doubles the shot. For example, on boosted motor, a 50-shot of NOS = approx 100RWHP.
I'd say go with no more than a 100-shot MAXIMUM. More than that and you will either lift the heads and/or crack the aluminum block, regardless of how good the tune is. Just ask "The Horsepower Store." Oh wait, they went out of business after their car blew up (10PSI ProCharger + 150-shot of NOS).
