Looks like the chemical intercooler bit him in the pocket book.I've thought about spraying my intercooled Magnacharger using a wet shot.Pictures like the one you posted provide a good reality check.

Ya, looks like a 100 shot is a bit much for that small magnuson manifold & roots.

Someone help me here... Isn't a backfire normally due to puddling in the Intake instead of just a lean issue?

I think you're right Mellow Yellow,I thought a lean condition on nitrous would cause a internal meltdown and a rich condition would cause a backfire.

Is a Nitrous Backfire due to fuel solenoid puddling or Nitrous Puddling?

The only puddling you can get is fuel,because nitrous becomes a gas when its released into the motor.

Thanks.

What are the best ways to have a wet kit vaporize the fuel better? How does a direct fogger handle fuel and would that work on a custom magnuson manifold?

Sounds like fuel puddled then boom.
You can run a dp setup on that intake not sure abour plumbing a traditional setup but you can run that NOS nozzle system on that and solve the pooling problems. The intake just does not look to me like it would be good for distribution the way it is setup.
