        I was only running an 80 when mine backfired. It doesnt take a huge hit for it to happen...

          what is the main cause of a "backfire" is it the engine not being able to "breathe" enough for the amount of nitrous?

            It only happens on wet kits. Fuel puddles in the intake manifold, ignites and explodes out through the intake.

            Bad air flow or arming between shifts can cause it.

              If that is the case then why not only ever use dry shots?

              sorry, the only thing I know about nitrous are there are wet and dry shots...

                It becomes a fueling issue with a dry shot since the MAF adds fuel, the injectors are working over time and with a sizable dry shot you have to upgrade injectors and tune.

                Wet kits add fuel right off the fuel rail and mix with the nitrous then thru the intake manifold. This doenst require spraying over the MAF so the injectors arent working any harder or need upgraded, thus no tuning involved for new injectors.

                    Wet vs. dry is kinda like Chevy vs. Ford, Mustang vs. Fbody, Camaro vs. Fireturd etc.

                    Its an ongoing debate that will never end. Both have pros and cons. I have both so I fall somewhere in between lol.
