How many mile's are on your car and whats the current condition of the motor.
Nitrous is safe as long as you get a good kit designed for you car/motor and don't abuse it.
(remember nitrous doesn't blow up car people blow up cars)

Nitrous is the way to go for cheap power. Just make sure you're getting enough fuel to the motor.

The first thing I would reccoment is talking to some people and do some reading up on what nitrous is, and how it works. If you understand what it does and how it works... the rest is tuning. Not to say tuning is easy, hehe.

Sometihng to consider. I've known of a couple guys to stop up a cat converter trying to spray through it. I think that's a kinda no-no.

just have someone who knows what they are doing and u shouldnt have a problem.
nitrous is definatly nice when u come into a close battle with someone else u can always use that little bit extra to beat him with.

Have it and love it on my car. I have every "safety" component you can think of. MSD window switch, FPSS, Walbro 340M, everything. My car has 103,000 miles on it and it runs like a raped ape on the juice. I'm spraying a 150 shot. Traction for now is the only thing I have to worry about. Of course, no two cars are the same. I have 103K on mine like I said and have had no problems going through 4 bottles. I had a friend put a nice hole in one of his pistons the 2nd time he used it. It just depends on the car. Take all the safety measures and dont rag on it all the time. Keep up the maintence and you'll never have to worry about the problems.
