Default Motor is toast

I had some extra time on monday afternoon so I went a head and put my new nitrous kit on the car. Took the car out for a drive and sprayed the kit worked ok but I thought the 100 shot was too small. I went back and the biggest shot I could spray with the jets I have is 150. I didn't see the point so I rigged the system to spray with no jets. I've never heard of anyone messing up the motor with this type of setup so I knew it was fine. I took the car out and sprayed.. BOOM motor was blown into pieces and it even broke the hood. I just knew it would be safe, must be the type of oil I used

let me guess, you taped a hole directly into the intake from the bottle and just sprayed it in there?

good call!

ya know, running a few quarts low on oil shouldn't hurt anything, i mean hell, as long as there is some oil in there it should live, right? I mean hell, what goes GM know recommending 5.5qts or so of oil? They dunno what they are talking about. 3-4 quarts should be plenty.

I presume you weren't using a window switch either?

Man B I got a wet kit and I thought it would be cool to run a dual stage kit so I drilled a hole into my air lid and let it spray before the maf but I kept the fuel feed going into the intake.

Car had 2qts of oil but it was syn. so that's like having 4qts of regular oil
