Little duct tape and super glue and it'll be fine. It's a Mustang.

Low RPM activation resulting in a back fire......this is why you want a window switch.

You can hear them let the RPMs drop before going WOT after shifting to 4th

I dont feel bad- its there stupidity.. a 305rwhp car(basically stock) and trying to add a ton of nitrous to it 100-200 shot? ya- thats stupid..

That is not a ton of nitrous.

It wasn't the amount of power they added with the nitrous, it was that they sprayed at to low of an rpm.

When I sprayed my car, I went WOT at about 3,500-3,700rpm.

I spray at idle everytime for the last six years..Sometimes in second gear too... Idle is at1500rpms in my car and I have never had a problem.. Just lit it up right from the start, power and tires spinning..... 100 shot though, tuned to run a little rich with cool running spark plugs... No problems at all to report....

I don't see why low rpm nitrous activation would be a problem? Maybe someone can enlighten me on this?

so if yours was to blow with a 100 shot are you stupid? ive seen plenty of ls1/ls6 intakes do the same thing..

the ford modular intakes dont really flow that well and it cause the fuel to puddle up in the intake and BOOM there you go..

bigblock4-speed

First off- i would never run nitrous, and there are plenty of guys on here- that have run that amount - and not had problems with there ls1/ls6/fast intakes.. id have to say they didnt have the system setup right in the first place- for the intake to blow off that quick..

thats what happens when someone doesnt use a window switch and turnes it on to early.

the ls1/ls6 intakes flow better than the modular one do so thats why they have more problems blowing them on the spray, but gm intakes will blow also..

I don't have a window switch on my car, but I have a converter that goes to 4200 on the brake, so it's never seeing less then 4200, the rev limiter is set at 7800 and I shift it at 7000, so it never sees that either.

With a stick car, there's no way I'd not have a window switch on the car, but with a loose converter/automatic car, I wouldn't bother as long as the shift point is a good distance from the rev limiter.
