Arrow Post pics up your burnt up stuff!

Here's one from a friend's old 632 back in the 90s. That's what happens when you get the tune up wrong!

TR-6 plugs are worthless in a nitrous car, do not use them. My tune-up was **** and I was still pretty new at the nitrous game but the plugs were the biggest culprit. Colder plugs with a non-projected tip should've lasted the one pass I had on this tune-up. I learned a lot a little too late that day.

Damn! ATV! What brand of pistons were those? How much were you hitting it with?

I don't have any pics but I shot a 100 shot dry on a 3.1L v6 fwd cutlass and it broke the valve in the motor. If I would of converted it to a wet shot it probably would of lived. The FPR was just maxxed out trying to add fuel thru the injectors. Hmmmmm...... Sounds like a new project! "How much n2o can a 3.1 v6 take"

Those were wesico out of my old 396.

400-450 shot for a whole season... knew it was "wounded" at the last 2 races but a 450 shot seals it up OK.

Timing eats **** up.

I've chatted with ATVracr through PM when this happened, but this all came from a loose fuel solenoid wire

I hear ya! Nothing like compression in a bottle

That reminds me, we had old school racer that was going thru his motor and he had some really bad grooves in his cylinder walls that needed an over-bore but he was just honing it. Me and a couple of my buddies told him "Man, you need to bore that thing instead of honing it" He told us "You youngsters need to go sit down somewhere and leave me alone, besides as much nitrous as I am spraying, WHO NEEDS COMPRESSION!"
