Default newb, problems with my car

So i was racing the other night and I missed 4th. Being a dumbass not having anything to control spark, i dumped a 100 shot in without fuel. the whole car shook and it sounded like a huge *** backfire.

I am confused on what is wrong with my car now... It backfires/sounds like it misfires. I switched all plugs out and still does it. Downshift or get up on it and it blows white smoke. But the compression test came back at 150/155 all across the board.

So what can it be? i want to say the timing is messed up or something stupid like plug wires, but that wouldn't explain the smoke. Any help appreciated

I hate to say it, but your dumb *** deserves a blown motor

i know im the only one out there that runs nitrous w/o one... you know there's people that run more nitrous than that, dry shot, with no wot activation or fuel upgrades. so im not the biggest idiot in the world.

1st missed shift in a month. my buddy bent a pushrod and messed up a valve missing a gear without nitrous... stuff happens, im just trying to fix it.

when the car is fixed ill have a full msd with spark cutoff at 6k.

white smoke = blown gasket and burning coolant/water

Using nitrous without the proper safety switches is like smoking next to a can of gasoline. Sooner or later your bound to blow yourself up
