EightySeven, bet if it was any car under the same circumstances, it would've been the same scenario

Actually, the most common cause of a Nitrous backfire.. Is - when using a wet style shot - the nitrous/fuel mixture puddling up in the intake manifold, and then combusting. Using too much nitrous at too low of an RPM will just damage the motor, not cause a backfire. And yes, it does actually have something to do with the fact that it's a Chevy if he was using a wet shot. If you ever look inside of an LS-series motor's intake manifold, you can see how it's not really designed for flowing liquids like a wet nitrous shot, there's plenty of places for the mixture to get caught up and puddle.

oh shit!!

Nitrous by itself is not flammable. What it does is add oxygen to the engine so you can add fuel to make more power. Why you see Cars catch on fire is because of them using to much nitrous at to low of RPM creating a backfire.

nitrous isnt flammable
