N20 on a stock motor/drive line...is it ok or dangerous?

ok, so heres the deal. you can see what i got, and whats done to it in my sig.

my ? is, would it be safe to run a 75 wet shot of NOS thru my car w/o any adverse affects?

its got 103k miles on it, all highway/girlie driving...except for the last 5k that i drove it. and i have a feeling the oil seals might be going out, there is a puff of blue smoke after revving it 500 rpm past redline, but thats it. theres the occasional blue/grey puff of smoke at startup after sitting for several days.

should my engine/seals be able to handle 75 HP shot?

would the stock clutch be able to handle the added power?

its not gonna smoke my tranny/rear end is it?
i only plan on using the NOS after 4000 rpm. never from a launch. with the clutch disengaged and at speed, it should be able to hold right?

id hate install the NOS,and then not be able to take advantage of it w/o needing to upgrade the clutch...

hook a brotha up!

No, it isn't safe to run N2O on anything but a very tight engine.
