How can I avoid a "nitrous hiccup"?

Edit: Got some info sought, mixed up with another thread.

Speaking of stupid questions. I have never had a backfire knock on wood but where are most of these backfires occuring? Im assuming off the line and at low rpm's? (sorry i dont know very much about them still learning so school me if you have the time please
) back on topic:
yes, you are correct. most backfires are due to puddling from either activating at too low of a rpm, running overly rich, hitting the rev limmiter while spraying, or having a leaky fuel noid (boo wet kit) lol. just use common sense, set your system up correctly, and maintain/check your system and you will be fine. good luck.

Anyway, I think some/many backfires are really the result of lean issues, outside of the bog launch type and/or fuel drop out. I know mine was a high rpm lean backfire from hitting the limiter and the PCM pulling fuel. I thought I was Joe pro shifter and ran with out a WS, big mistake, and missed a shift. It blew a nice hole in the back of the intake, though I am glad it was not a wet hit as it usually dislodges the fuel rails and then the fire. Dry backfires, as rare as they are, seem much, much less violent due to the fact that no fuel is in the intake tract, OK a very small amount from reversion. We do need to, as my friend algws6 alludes to, be safe and have all our bases covered for the best chance of no issues, wet or dry. I honestly believe the future is dry, and was making this statement before NX, HSW or EFI came out with their innovative products for the dry market, so I must not be alone. I don't hate the wet guys or kits, they still have their place, but the times they are a changing.
