I'd like to see the results of a failure analysis on that one.

Ya, I wonder how that happened.
Many people think nitrous is a flammable type gas....it's not...it's not a fuel.

I wonder if his homeowner's insurance covered that?
NO2 is an oxidizer, just like having a bottle of Oxygen around.

If home owners insurance does cover it, it might be the last time.

Except the oxygen doesn't get freed until the NO2 hits about 700 degrees C. You would suffocate if you were to breath only No2.

This is a perfect example of why it's bad to overfill your nitrous bottle.

Actually I was thinking of getting one for the Exploder. Seriously.

I could just see if that car exploded when parked on a street somewhere, more so it it was parked in front of city hall, or a federal government building. The car's owner would be given an all expenses paid one way trip to Guantanamo Bay.

Heh, it might be a while before the 390 sees nitrous. I want to have it well broken in before hand. However, with the forged pistons I have in it, I dont see why it couldn't handle a 250 shot.
The 75 shot on the Exploder would be just to give my daily driver a little fun.
Be sure to tell me when and where!
