Up in Flames... Fire Bad! Well Robert finally found the limit of his engine:

Pushing it off the Dyno
Sorry to see it Robert, it just makes room for something bigger and badder!

Combined video and info for viewing Thanks Ryan. Yea, the positive of this is now I will be going after the big dogs, at least the dogs in the 9.xx's. George (Turbo Tech) is doing a forged 4xx ci n2o motor. Maybe 450/500 n/a and a 300 shot dry, hehehehe.
Tuff, I noticed how flat/sluggish it was also, from the get go. But, after all I have put the motor through we knew it was just a matter of time before it let go, and the 285rwhp shot was the clincher. It seems to now have a nice hole in the front of the block, and aluiminum shavings were coming out the tail pipe, hehehehehe. Oh well, ya spray ya may pay.
For everyone who has read where I allways post "Try to find someone who has hurt their motor running a properly set-up dry hit.",
well that would be me. 
But really, it was not the nitrous set-up or the dry, and certainly not a back fire, but just getting greedy on the spray on a tired motor (200 plus sprayed 1/4 passes). Did make it to about 4750rpm and 665rwtq. I'll post the dyno later.

To be honest I would not be suprised if you hit the MAF max and it went lean

That was crazy........
I didn't see the flames when I witnessed it in person. All I remember was the dipstick shooting out and slapping around.
I wonder what started the fire and where it came from.

Damn Robert!
You predicted it was coming and pushed the limits to find the point of no return.
You doing a LS6, LS2 or LS 7 build? Detail the new build as it goes together

Sure shows that with a proper setup, you can beat the **** out of them for awhile before they let go. As sad as it is you lost the motor, you did excellent testing for the rest of us and proved just what you wanted.
