fuel explodes in the intake when it puddles. WIll typically blow off your intake tubing. Prevent it by a window switch, and use your head.

Hawk is right.
A nitrous back fire is caused by several things.
1.Sraying under to little of RPM (not having enough cylinderpressure built up) Prevented by having a window switch.

2.Hitting Revlimiter.Which in return cuts fuel supply. (Prevented by having a window switch)

3.Or puddeling in the intake. Usely while running large shots like 300 hp on a single fogger kit. This is rare though.

Buy the window switch and fuel safety switch.then enjoy.

I get some back firing when I let off at the end of the 1/4. A friend of mine said he saw flames come out the exhuast last time we where at the track. Is this just fuel left after the run, or is something wrong?
