Ok....I just got back from vacation, but let me see if I can help you out...
The system from NOS is a very complete system and contains everything you need to instantly add power to your car, however, I would strongly recommend adding a NOS pressure gauge, bottle heater, and bottle blanket. The pressure gauge will let you know when you are running optimum pressure and the heater works great for when the outside temperature doesn't allow your pressure to build up enough. Now then, on to the safety question. The NOS setup uses a throttle activated switch. Once the system is armed, any time that you are at wide open throttle, the system is spraying. If you know your car well enough and are a decent driver, you will be able to watch your RPM's when spraying. If you go over the factory rev limiter and the fuel cuts, you can possibly damage your engine. NOS and MSD both sell window switches that can be set up to allow activation between certain RPM's only which may keep you from spraying outside of desired ranges. These switches are expensive, but may save you from engine damage. My current setup relies solely on my knowing how to drive my car and when to let up. Whenever my foot drops to the floor, my system is adding an additional 75 HP. This isn't always great coming off of the line, but once I am in 3rd gear and have traction, it is truly a rush.
