if it's done properly, it's pretty safe. probably more so than turbo or supercharge boost since the charge is cooled & has a cooling effect on the motor. it's important that it's done right for two reasons: first, not enough fuel = lean mix = detonation = bad. you have to add larger or extra injectors. usually an extra injector is wired in just aft of the throttle that just dumps fuel when the bottle's on.

the other thing to be wary of are the cylinder pressures. we already run 11:1 compression. this is why if we turbo/supercharge our cars, we can only ad a LITTLE boost. if the cylinder pressures get too high, things start to break. a properly engineered system would be fine in any car.
