Good kill and good sportsmanship. Chances are if he had a 135 shot he didnt have it set-up correctly. Of course it can kill your motor such as this honda, but if it is set-up the right way, more often than not this prolly wouldnt happen. And it wouldnt hurt to not have the equivalent of a 750 shot or whatever it is, on our cars.

I have to agree. Here, three kids died from Nitrous. The damn morons found a way to put into the fuel tank.

The car blew up caught on fire and killed them all.

Ignorance kills!

Yep.

Roiuting it into the tank would just prssureize the crap out of it. Car might die and run really lean if it got into the pump pickup, but thats it.

Nice kill. That guy really wanted to win. 135 shot. Wow. I really cant think on any motor I would run a 135 on stock. I would go with a 125 max on a stock LS1 for longevity sake. Then again, I DD everything, and I'm insane.

Hey I agree about the Nitrous not being a flamable. I will see if the person here can find out what happened why the car exploaded. For all we know, it could of been some kind of spark around the fuel that caused it but having that in the tank with it; I guess would give it more oxygen to fuel it? It didn't make sense either but I will find out hopefully. I am too busy to start asking quetions, rofl, I have better things to do at work, rofl.

Anyway, I will see if the woman is here today, maybe she can explain exactly what happened. Better yet, maybe I can find the news article about it. I bet I would get a better answer to what happened.

Edit: So it would need fuel with it to be a bad thing, which is what these morons did. I'm still curious how it happened. Damn no luck today, I believe she is off for the holiday. Gonna have to wait til monday to find out more about the story.

Some good info in general about nitrous:
