With that much cash in a car, why have no N2O safety setup?

Ouchie!! Looks like the shop is responsible though. I agree on window switch...it's just smart to have.

Wow! That totally sucks. There would be a big pile of human waste right under where I was standing if that ever happened to my car.

What kind of idiot doesn't know you can't spray nitrous below 3000rpm? That person should seriously be fired. He's lucky that wasn't a Viper or some car with an expensive engine. I feel anyone that works at a performance shop should at least know the basics of motor, N20, turbo and supercharged cars. What shop is that anyway? Are they going to pick up the bill for a new motor and someone else to install it?

Probably NOT a result of "fuel puddling"....A lean condition from spraying too much N20 at a low RPM will cause a more powerful explosion than a rich condition.....

Try spraying that dry setup at 1500 rpms, its not the wet kit that kills ya.
