even with safety switches it will blow up sooner or later. im not saying that i was being perfectly safe with my setup. i have seen far more aggressive on stock bottom end/heads.

FuzzyDiceRule, i was almost certain thats what it was. But then my compression test had me confused. 150 or 155 at all cylinders. shouldn't at least one be coming back bad?

 

1. So anyone who has ever missed a gear should not use nitrous? I think nitrous can almost be left out of the discussion, people blow motors revving too high all the time without it.

 

its not too hard to use nitrous... make sure your foot is too the ground and make sure your car is in gear not over revving.. doesnt seem to hard to me

 

My grandma has never missed a gear in her car. However, she shifts very slow and easy.

My point is that everyone here has missed a gear before. Unless you never race.

 

the only time i've EVER missed a gear racing aroundwas because my shift **** came off the handle. that was in my truck, stupid push on *****!

now i will admit, i've killed the car before and have had crappy shifts and have had trouble getting into gears due tofuked up tranny's. but you should not miss a shift and blow up your car.

 

sure ive missed a gear... but how the hell do you miss 4th?

 

If you have the proper safety switches in a good nitrous system, you won't blow your engine up, at least not from the nitrous...as long as none of the safety stuff fails. Seperate fuel pump on a wet shot with a fuel pressure safety switch for the nitrous selenoid, microswitches etc, rpm shutoff switches, you could even rig a manifold pressure switch so that if you do miss a gear the nitrous doesn't spray. Engines blow up because something went wrong, not because it's just something "that happens"
