Hey Guys I was at the track this weekend and I was using nitrous. A 100 shot. On my last pass I bouced off the rev limiter with the nitrous on. Can I cause any damage to my motor. It still seems fine. Can you guys tell me what to check for?, to make sure its ok? Its a 2001 c5 corvette. mods are vararam,LT headers, and nitrous 100 shot.

below is what happened to me, although it was a dry shot. I was running a 300 shot and no window switch. I am pretty good at shifting a 6-speed so thought everything would be fine. Well I missed or bungled a shift and because it was still spraying it skyrocketed the RPMs and hit the limiter. This pulls fuel and when I got back into it I had a 7000rpm lean back fire. Luckly running a dry shot, the back fire was not bad enough to dislodge the fuel rails and cause a nasty fire. Moral of the story, and I should have practiced what i preach, lol, run all of the safety stuff at all times.

Look at your plugs. I did the same thing at the track a few months ago and I got lucky. It didn't hurt anything. I doubt you cracked the intake or anything else.

yes, check your plugs and I guess you should check for hairline fractures on the composite manifold.

do you have a window switch and what is the kill rpm set to??? 6000? hopefully the solenoids closed

thanks NXZ28, what am i looking for in the plugs? i hope im as lucky as you. I spinned in first and when i shift to 2nd i spinned hit the nitrous then spinned to the rev limit. bounced like twice and i let off imediatly. Im looking for a window switch rite now. any recomendations.

HSW Microedge is a nice window switch.

If you had a crack or a small hole your rpms would be idling higher than normal, so your prob fine.

Thanks Robert. hey robert do you think its cool to plug in my window switch to the coil for tach signal. if so which wire is it?

Depends on which WS, the HSw Microedge can use the coil pickup, others not sure? I always go to the PCM, but did do my last install at the rails (HSW).
