    Here's a a good example of the danger of using nitrous. A fogger system would be fine but not a kit that puts the fuel and N20 BEFORE the intake. The intake is NOT made to flow liquid. The fuel pools up in the intake at certain spots (especially at low rpms) and this is the result. BOOOOM. The 2 mode intake sure doesn't help for a wet fuel flow in the intake either. That plastic intake didn't have a chance with that nitrous backfire.

    Hitting the spray at higher RPMS will help but its still not 100% that a backfire won't happen.
