I have heard that nitrous isn't actually flammable though it justs adds more oxygen into the formula? So the nitrous ingniting wouldn't make sense? But i'm not too sure

If you have an intake valve not closing all the way is what would
cause a backfire into the intake system.
Cylinder fires off with it still open to the intake runners and ignites
off all the nitrous in the intake
Maybe bad valve or spring or lifter.

To all the nitrous guys... What would of caused both head gaskets to pop AND backfire through the intake...
I did one hard pull... Went to go spray again, and as soon as I got WOT at 3000RPM's... BOOM!

Nitrous oxide is not flammable, as it is 2 parts inert gas and 1 part oxidizer. The reason it caused a back fire in the intake track; is due to the fact that the Nitrous Oxide now had a Fuel (Gasoline) to ignite with. I just can’t explain why it back fired AND blew a head gasket. I have quite a few theories, but can not nail one down.
Once I do put this back together, I am going to take it to my friends shop, and put it on the Dyno before I spray again… I'll post vids and numbers later this week...

As far as I know this is true. Nitrous is no more than beefed-up compressed air.
