Its not dangerous if you get a good tune with it. There are many good kits. Check out the Nozzle kit by NOS. Zex and NX make good kits too. [Wink]

The rings are pretty likely to be an issue if you do dumb things like activate at part throttle [Big Grin]

Nitrous gets a bad rep because people install it without knowing how to tune it and blow stuff up. If its tuned right and you dont use more than you should then you are fine. its like a supercharger, you dont throw 20lbs. of boost on a stock bottom end without expecting something to blow up.
I would highly reccomend zimmerman at http://www.zimmermanmotorsports.com/ for the install [patriot]

Once you have it you will never want to get rid of it! It's addicting to have all that power at the flip of a switch. Just rememeber you can never have too much fuel.
