what does "pop" mean?

i just got a 100-dry shot and i hear a deep pitched popping each time i shift up. kinda like a backfire or something. i don't think i'm damaging anything cuz the car drives normal after those runs. the deep noise from under the hood goes "poop-poop-poop" and i take off in each gear.

i got the SCT computer chip for 93octane and 100 shot, but i kept my plugs because they are pretty good already. they are the motorcraft platinum ones.

what do you think? am i safe?

doughboy's car went pop because one of his injectors went bad and leaned out. I've been running a 100 wet shot for a while now and i have yet to have a problem. I don't even have my window switch installed, just spray it after 3k.

well just so you know - 100 wet is far from "safe" - but still safer when tuned then most people think it would be

100 shot is fine.
150 with a perfect tune.

both assuming proper safety items.

Running nitrous is just like any other serious power adder. It's all in the tune. With a bad tune, a 50 shot can ruin your engine. But with the right tune and equipment a 350 shot can be just as safe as NA.


I had a freind with too much time on his hands and he put a 500 shot into the throttle body of his 5.0. It ran like crazy, It was fast as hell. 6 runs later, just as he launched the manifold went boom, or more like BBOOOOMMM!!!!!!!! I laughed, he cried, we all laughed at him some more.

Are you sure it's not just your exhaust releaving the back pressure? a lot of exhausts make a "poop-poop-poop" noise after releasing the throttle.

A 500 shot and it ran 6 times

Why did he cry? What the hell did he think was going to happen? At least for those 6 runs or less, he was free[&:]
