To the parents of the kid in the video that is talking, your kid is an idiot, and is going to have an amazing career asking people what they want on their taco.  |

Sometimes I get to thinking about a 100-150 shot and then I see something like this and it brings me to my senses.  |

I wouldn't worry about it, I've been spraying for a little while now...no problems. Just be sure to take your car to a reputable shop to check your work (if you do it yourself) |

Too be honest, that doesn't provide any insurance. I've seen cars from reputable tuner shops have nitrous explosions...shit happens.  |

Yeah, I've put as much safety as I could, but you are right... anything can happen.
I've put on a fuel cutoff switch and a TPS monitor set at to come on only after 3000 RPM.
That explosion usually happens in a wet system if the solonoids got stuck open and your fuel pooled into the engine bay. (that's what the fuel cutoff switch is for)
If Nitrous was sprayed directly into the cylnders, I think things like that won't happen. |

That would be a direct port system, correct? Those are nice (and as you said, substantially safer)...but pretty expensive, from what I understand. |

Nitrous just scares the hell out of me but in all fairness I have no experience with it. It's just not a mod I ever really wanted though. This video of a yellow C5Z is permanently stuck in my mind. It also took the safety crew 40sec to get there.

What a bunch of ass mongers. It's not cool to laugh at a person who just lost their Vette.  |
