Better yet....

What is the positioning of the nozzle? (pics prefered)

What RPM did you start spraying at?

Nozzle pointed to where the mix hit the wall or TB, it will puddle, shut throttle and open, BAM.
Spraying too low rpm, insufficient intake charge velocity lets the heavy mix settle in the bottom of the intake, it builds up and waits for the intake valve to open...BAM.

Your doing something wrong cause I have sprayed a truck load of bottles through my TNT kit and never so much as a pop out of it! Do you have a window switch? Where is it set? Are you in and out of the throttle because of tire spin? What timing and shot are you running? You better figure it out before you do it again!

The backfires are not TNT specific, but rather wet specific for reasons stated and others.

Obviously no window switch - you play dumb you pay! $85 for a window switch would have been smarter than blowing off one intake, let alone two...
