Oh ****..

That was crazy. Never seen a nitrous backfire lead to that. Got me thinking twice about a nitrous system now.

That's the worst one I've ever seen.

He had to have noids hanging wide open for it to have went like that on an EFI setup.

I've had one really bad backfire on a V6 years ago and a minor one a few months ago on the LT1, both on a single nozzle, but nothing like that!

And this is why you have an extinguisher. And keep the hood closed if you don't.

And make sure the key is off if your fuel supply is via schrader valve. And shut the bottle off.

Shut the bottle and run the **** away is probably the best option.

Yea after my experience with nitrous I won't ever run it again. Now I just have more reasons to never use that bs again.

I dunno why they were so close to it when it was like that. If that **** was going on, I'd bail. Car isn't worth the danger that it poses at that point.

bad nitrous backfire during a race in Mexico. - YouTube
At first I was watching them say oh ****, and then I was saying oh **** with them. LOL I think it may possibly be safe to say they didn't salvage **** and it all burned down... from the way it looked. LOL

I LOL'd at that comment... but i mean, maybe that was a better idea than fanning it with shirts.
