What kit do you have. One thing u need to look at is what angle the nozzle is pointing in the TB. I spray out of the hole everytime i will go through an entire bottle in one night. no more nitrous backfires. You need to make sure your nozzle is pointing straight back toward the TB plate. Also you need to make sure the nozzle is placed behind the maf sensor that is if this kit is a wet kit.<b><a href=\"http://www.sick-sixx.com\" target=\"_blank\">SICK-SIXX MEMBER</a></b><br />NA 14.345 with a 1.863 60 foot<br />Nitrous 13.03@99.5 with a 1.63 60 foot<br /><br />2000 Camaro 3.8L A4: USE TO HAVE Comp Cam 210/220 .535/.547 113lsa 111 I/C, Port and Polished Heads, NX Wet Kit 100 Shot, CPRA made by CP, RK Sport Headers -
hey whats up my nozzle is tapped into my throttle body behind my maf sensor so it may be that it isnt pointed far enough up it is kinda down could that be my prob and yes this is a nx wet kitComment

If it isnt straight toward the back of the TB it could be it is hitting the top or bottom of the TB it could be puddleing up and causeing the backfire.<b><a href=\"http://www.sick-sixx.com\" target=\"_blank\">SICK-SIXX MEMBER</a></b><br />NA 14.345 with a 1.863 60 foot<br />Nitrous 13.03@99.5 with a 1.63 60 foot<br /><br />2000 Camaro 3.8L A4: USE TO HAVE Comp Cam 210/220 .535/.547 113lsa 111 I/C, Port and Polished Heads, NX Wet Kit 100 Shot, CPRA made by CP, RK Sport HeadersComment

Backfires on a wet kit:
1) hit nitrous at too low a rpm
2) nozzle not aimed perfectly
3) throttle blade not open completely
4) fuel puddling
5) fuel solenoid leaking
6) faulty nitrous/ fuel solenoid
Basically go through that check list and get back to us.
Also check all vaccum lines. When I had the big wet kit backfire I blew off/ appart soooo many vaccum parts.
Vaccum line to throttle body
Plastic elbow into brake booster
Plastic piece into passenger side intake manifold
And other parts.Race car - gone but not forgotten - 1997 firebird V6

Advice #1
If you have a backfire bad enough to crack the lid, I wouldn't be running the car anymore that night
Advice #2
Get that engine checked out. Friend of mine had a wet kit backfire that warped his heads -- first time out with the nitrous, first backfire.
Realize also that a lot of people have problems with wet kits.
