Default Pics of recent Wet Kit Backfire

This is the #1 reason I went dry over wet. Friend of mine took these pictures last night at one of the hot spots. Guy was running a bike and a porsche and the next thing you know BOOM...FIRE!!

Shitty thing was that of the 15 people that stopped, nobody helped to put it out.

DRY FTMFW!!

If you cant tell...its a C6

thats to bad.
i would have stoped, i have fire ex in every one of my auto's, i would have said, you want me to try to put it out, or let it burn?

i would ask because i know if my car went up and i didnt get it out right away and some one pulled over and put it out, id be pissed. lol let it burn..

too bad tho for sure.

Sucks.

That happened a long time ago to a local guy with his lambo. His fuel rail seperated and carbequed his car.







The interesting fact is that this is the same guy who now owns the 1400+rwhp Ford GT that you've seen all the videos about.

Whom besides myself do you know about? Also, a dry backfire will not burn your car to the ground, mostly just minimual damage, and oh so very, very rare.

When adding any power adder, it is the time, money and attention to detail that will predict the outcome of your success. If you do it half *** and rush into it and don't gather the vailable info from the individuals on this board and sponsors, then yea I'd be worried, lol.

Since my first F-obdy in 98, I've held the members of this board (with the exception of a few) to have some of the greatest knowledge to learn from. The only better way to learn sometimes is by trail and error, But the way I see it is, the time you put into a project will dictate your end results. You never stop learning.

Also to add I am not saying that the backfires that do happen are do to lack of knowledge. Sometimes you get faulty parts or maybe you thought you had it all wired right. Then again some of us have to be brave enough to go pionner the new ways. Some could produce awsome results, while others could cause you to burn you car to the ground. We live and we learn.

Picked up 2 extinguishers this week, put one in the car and the other in the truck. Eveybody should have one i think, I just hope nobody here ever needs to use it.

My car was tuned. Stand alone with c16 HSW 2-stage plate 150-150 progressive controller and ws. You can spend all kinds of money,buy the right stuff and no matter what Murphy's law will take over. **** HAPPENS! Be prepared when it does and have a fire extinguisher handy.
