Default Popping (backfire?) after letting off...

I sprayed a couple of times yesterday. Each time, after I let off in third to slow down, there were several loud popping sounds (I think they came from the exhaust, but not sure). This doesn't usually happen, so I was wondering what it might have been. My system is set to run pretty rich while spraying, so was this just a regular backfire? I'm not too concerned, because the car seems to be running fine - however, like I said, it's never done this before.

Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.

Mine does the same thing after every nitrous run. My car goes rich for a second as soon as I let off so I pretty sure it's from all the unburnt fuel getting lit up in the exhaust.

I don't know if it will help but...after every run I shut down the juice while still at WOT and hold it at WOT for a second or two w/o the spray to clear things out a bit. I have never had so much as a hickup or backfire with running n20 for 4 years now, on a few different vehicles.

I had the saim thing only it can be a problem it blew my lid up. Only did it if i let all the way off all of a sudden. What i do know is let off slowly so the WOT switch closes but the nitrous in the intake clears. Itsa alot like helbents10 does.

Yeah, I was letting off all of a sudden. But, that's what I normally do, and it had never done this before. I'll try to get a couple runs in tonight and see if it still does it after I let off slowly. Thanks, guys.
