Nitrous+polymer intake+rev limiter=bad
This is what happens when you miss a gear and hit the rev limiter with a Comp polymer intake.
I run a wide open throttle switch but it doesnt work if you miss a gear and stomp it. I would recommend any 5 speed driver to install a window switch to cut the system off at an rpm before the rev limiter.
