how would the intake be charged up so much that it can blow up your car when you start up the car? i mean the intake tube is open so if nitrous was to leak into the intake tube it will just be released into the atmosphere via the air filter.</div>

Nope. Your intake air would be charged with nitrous. That's why it's important to have a purge kit and to turn your bottle off when you are not using it. Most leaks are not bad and won't cause a problem unless the bottle stays open over night. Others are bad enough to where it will affect your idle when the bottle is open. I do belive there was a member here who had damaged his engine after starting his nitrous car one morning. I don't know if he ever figured out why but I would say to check the silenoid.

And Peano.....I was just giving that info to noobs on the site. I would do the same when I had my kit (spray from 1st through 3rd).

yeah, i know. i just wish i could spray through 4th (i know i can't through 5th) but compression would be too high. 3rd takes me to about 105mph though, so it's good enough cause most races shut down around there for me. i can't spray in 1st anymore though, it just breaks traction no matter what.
