If you run a small shot (under 100) you should be fine. If you have an Si most of your interna;s are forged anyway so you have a great engine to start tuning. As it was stated you have to be careful. Only run it at WOT, use good gas, and a purge valve is a good idea as is a bottle warmed to keep the pressure consistent. Even if you run it a lot you shoudl be fine if you take a few precautions. also a way to get around the Street racing this is keep your bottle unhooked until you are sure you are going to use it. In most staes it is not illegal to have nitrous in your car, it is on;y illegal to have it hooked up while driving on public streets. Of course if you plan on using this on the street and not the track you are always going to run the risk of getting busted by the cops. Good luck and I hope this helps you.
