It is flamable my friend. It's OXYGEN! Go shoot a bottle of oxygen with a 7mm and tell me what happens. Same with N20. It exploded becuase the pressure in the bottle got to high because the car was on fire. Fire=heat=pressure=explosion. After the explosion the oxygen all rushed out of the bottle superfeeding the fire causing the explosion. So throw a bottle of N20 in the fire and tell me what happens

In a basic sense, that is exactly what nitrous does. Nitrous is an oxidizer, not a fuel. This is what makes the scene on "the fast and the homo" so funny, when the car explodes after they yell "NOS!!". You can take a bottle of nitrous, open the valve, and put a flame directly into the stream and it won't explode (just like oxygen).
FI, in any form (turbo/blower/nitrous) is only serving one point, to get more oxidizer down into the combustion chamber, so that you can also spray more fuel in there and keep the air/fuel ratio ideal, and thus make more power.

More bad information... Nitrous is N2O.. which means 2 parts Nitrogen, and 1 part oxygen - does that sound like "more air" to you? You don't have to be a chemistry major to figure that out...

one more thing.....
What do you think Nitrous actually adds to your motor.......MORE AIR!!!!!!!
kinda glorified right????

It will no doubt acclerate a fire, but it will not burn or explode by itself. Neither will N20. If you shoot an o2 bottle, the only reason it will "explode" is because it is under pressure, and it undergoes rapid depressuraisation, but it is not flammible or explosive.
The ONLY reason for nitrous (or a blower/turbo) is to allow you to spray more gasoline into the engine while keeping the a/f ratio at a level that you still make power. If you were to spray just nitrous into your engine you would not make more power (and blow the car up, but thats another story) with just the nitrous alone.
Intercoolers= Cool the air and make it more dense. The more dense it is the better is burns. Thats why cold air burns better and gives you car (theoretically) more power Same principle with Methanal injection. Its half and half mixture of h20 and Methanal. Which is derived from methyl alcohol. Alcohol is flammable. It burns up in the combustion. The water is hydrogen (which burns up in the combustion) and oxygen which well we all know what that does.
Not to be a ********, but you sure do seem to have an afully high opinion of your techical expertise. I cannot say that I know anywhere close to everything about these cars, but if anyone in the thread is to be accused of spreading misinformation.....

If you hold a flame up to O2, the flame will get bigger, since fires use oxygen to decompose. So, I suppose you could say O2 is more of an accelerant.. Think of the Apollo 1 space capsule. There was a spark from one of the main voltage junctions, that coupled w/ the O2 rich (read: too high of O2) cause an almost immediate fireball... I'm going to do some more reading on this, since I'm actually piqued by the topic..
As a slightly side note, generally, Bar-and-plate I/Cers are the most efficient and provide considerably less Pressure drop before/after the I/C, since the channels tend to be slightly larger. Also, top-to-bottom provide less Pressure Drop as well...

It could cause an explosions becuase bullets are very very hot when they are shot. If they're hot enough its enough to ignite the fuel. Its a shot in the dark but it could happen. Most likely it will just pass out the otherside of the car though.
The one exception is a tracer round, which are illegal for the civilian populace to possess or fire.
