Default nitrous Horror Stories

Does any one have any nitrous horror stories? Stories of the backfires and burnt pistons. I just want to know how many people love the stuff and if it hurt anyones car.

i haven't ever tore any thing up but lets see

Just the other day a buddy of mine screwed up his brodix headed small block chevy. (don't know how its knocking ist *** off he hasn't tore it down yet)
a good friend of mine blew a hole in his intake on a 04 gt
another guy i know blew all the intake gaskets out of his 91 gt
i have a friend that destroyed a set of pistons in his 8 sec hot street car (he was spraying about 600 to it)
i have seen people destroy k&n filters
the wost one i saw had nothing to do with the nitrous a guys 67 chevel caught on fire and when the nitrous line blew all hell broke loose the car burned to the ground right there at the finish line.

just as long as it's properly installed, i don't see why your car should ever give you problems with it. code3gt was running a 125-150 shot untuned for 4 years. he had all the safety gear with it, but still.

Why would a nitrous line coming off cause a car to burn. Nitrous is not flammable.
