The fool should've at least shut the engine off. And I've seen worse than that. Try scattering the engine and not finding any pistons.

That shows me he didn't have the proper equipment, especially a nitrous shut off feature.

Your avatar is a trip stang93, to answer your question it's an accelerant it's not actually flammable. It sucks that happened to him though that car must of sustained a lot more damage than it would of if they would have hit the shut off switch, but I think people concentrate too much on the negatives of what happen with NOS. For very NOS explosion I can show a pic of something bad that happens with any other power adder, hell look what happened to mmb617 motor just recently and he was all motor. $h** happens, NOS is awesome stuff I'm not getting off of it anytime soon.

You know what guys, as much as I say I don't really like it, I have been finding myself looking through the catalogs for a kit.

I just get nervous when I see and hear stuff like this. I know it is the most bang for the buck and for sure I would hit the 9.90's using it. Maybe it's because I don't know how to actually use it and affraid that I might use it at the wrong time and boom! All it takes is once to screw it up!

Glad you said it all for me. The guy walked right by the cut off switch . Nitrous is not flamable yet it is combustable and added to a fire is not good. BOOM!

A nitrous back fire isn't a good one if the hood stays on the car.

Besides...where's the high speed motor disassembly???
