:eek: Holy shit! Makes me want to think twice about my nitrous plans. That was a wet kit too, arent they the supposed to be safer than the dry kit? What could have caused that? Looks like the nitrous/air charge got lit in the intake manifold, but how? The only thing I can think of is a little valve float and the having the intake mani nitrous/air charge get lit when the combustion chamber charge gets lit. Kinda sad though... good thing no one got hurt.

As in too much nos
Edit- Loeman u should like this alot lol.
Not the same thing. Some guys build so much boost, they pop the intake mani.
Thanks anyway but......
I am still using dial up. I can't see any of it. I really would've like to have seen roasted pony too. Stupid asses... did that car have any other mods than a 150 shot? You can't just slap a 150 on without proper supporting mods. Timing probably did that though. You shouldn't run advanced timing with NO2.

sad but funny lol
Edit it had a intake as far as i could see but that was it
edit#2 yea but that was something to do with F&F because he was trying to log another shot of NOS when it said danger to manifold correct?

I think all of that was movie BS. Nitrous doesn't work that way. It does supercool the intake charge, making it denser, but it doesn't significantly raise the manifold pressure like a turbo. It does however raise cylinder pressure, and most the guys I know that run nitrous use forged pistons,etc. IMO that cobra grenaded because of improper ignition timing though.
