nitros......worth it?
is it worth thinking about on an n/a engine like mine in the puma?
and is it a safe mod or likely to blow me engine after a few thousand miles
or less?

The advantages sound good, but you really have to consider it you want to do it your engine, it will last quite a lot shorter then without Nitrous.
There are also different systems, for example nitrous which will make the oxigene quite cold, this way there are several parts which will be exposed to quite different circumstances then usual.
Good luck

True, it doesn't directly damage them, although you will be asking more the engine then it can handle in longer therms.
I think it's a discission you have to make, depending on whats the current milage of the car and depending on your future plans with the car.

With a Controller , 50 shot will be totally safe. 11lb last around 4 mins i guess.
Will find weak clutches etc as it also & more importantly increases Torque.
Its Torque that will increase your accleration.
