Threw a rod on a 150 shot. Ditto on the above. You'll break more stuff with nitrous plain and simple. The more experience you have with it, the more knowledge you have of nitrous, and the less you'll break. But you'll still break parts more than without it.

Found out it was due to a spark plug wire that was burnt through so the engine wasnt running on all cylinders.
