holy crap...7400?! I thought putting mine at 6800 was extreme! he might have just over-revved. I guess it wasn't a nitrous backfire then huh?

Exactly how stock? Stock valvesprings? You need some serious valvetrain mods to spin 7400, not to mention your rod bolts and other aspects of the rotating assembly become a liability at that speed... Damn. Good luck with the car's reconstruction.

Yeah, plenty of people do that.

7400rpm is the problem.

the motor going is more likely due to him spinning the crap out of it, then the nitrous....
