How to make absolutely sure no backfires I have a HSW 150 wet kit. Sprayin 75 atm, gonna work my way up.
How can I make absolutely sure I don't get any nitrous backfires? My n/a tune is spot on. I have it setup to pull 4* of timing when spraying.
I have a racetronix fuel kit, wot switch, a/f safety shutoff (still deciding exactly how to set this one up), rpm window switch (start spraying at 3200 rpms atm), and progressive capability.
After seeing a destroyed intake from a friend's backfire, seeing a couple cars catch on fire, and seeing the hood get shot off of someone's car (in another post), I don't want to have to deal with this.

i got 4* for the 75 shot, will pull a bit more for the 150.
The "if you wanna play you gotta pay" is not what im looking for in this case, most of the time people have backfires, something wasn't setup correct in their system. I want to make sure everything is absolutely setup correctly.

Dry shot with a WOT switch and a window switch would be my suggestion.
This AFR shut off thing might be a good idea if your just messing around but if your a hardcore guy you want the N20 on and dont want to worry about this thing shutting the N20 off if it freaks out.
I've posted this before ..... 99% of people who hurt there motors do it because they are to rich not lean. So dont think rich is safe, its just as likely to hurt your motor as being lean if not more.

Yep dry shot is pretty safe bc there is no way for fuel to puddle in the intake (where the backfire comes from).. With a wet shot the fuel will puddle in the intake and sometimes it will ignite that puddle of fuel and BOOM.
But ofcourse there are ways to keep it as safe as possible. Dont let it run lean, always keep new plugs in, make sure the tune is spot on. Also get all the safety equipment along with it. Just give HSW, or N2O outlet a call they will point you in the right direction.
