Nitrous goes BOOM!!!!!!!!!!

[TRUUBLE]

Well . . it didn't work out exactly as I planned. I had something wired wrong (or programmed wrong) with the nitrous and it activated ealry (before the tree came down). So, I ended up jumping the light trying not to hurt the motor and didn't get a slip.

Knowledgable observers though it was an 8 second pass. Basically, they said the car was flying.

Based on RPM through the traps, I was doing about 155, which means it was an 8.70-8.80 pass.

I shut the motor down after the stripe because the nitrous was doing funky things and then tried to restart it without purging the nitrous from the manifold . . . . BOOM!!!

Blew the hoodscoop about 30 feet in the air and bent the throttle body butterfly . . lol.

Nah. The motor is fine. Just a bent butterfly in the TB.

Just minor stuff. I had to take that hood scoop of, anyway, to put it on the new hood. I just did it the quick way. :

The main thing is it did not go boom through the bottom of the engine. The hood scoop can be reinstalled and throttle body fixed fairly cheap.
