what happend in the vid?

If your wanting your engine to live, get colder plugs, retard the timeing about 4-6*, and make sure u have a good enough fuel system to keep up. I would recomend going to a dyno to fine tune your jeting and bottle pressures.

What motor do you have? Any plans on rebuilding?

#1 Don't use the typical "wet kit" in an intake meant for dry flow only.
#2 Use a race plug better suited to nitrous rather than a street type of spark plug.

yep thats what i have on both my cars, accept my camaro doesn't have a fpss since it has such low fuel fressure, but i would never run nitrous with out BOTH WOT switch and MSD window switch and i wouldnt recommend spraying anything lower than 3000 or 3500 to be even safer, i spray 3k on the camaro and 3500 on my grand prix, you also need remember about timing and spark plugs, and fuel and the internals if u are stepping up past 125 shot IMO just use it correctly and dont get spray happy and throw 200 shot jets in on a cast bottom end

What would you recomend for plugs. Right now I have stock ac delcos in the car. What ever came on a thirdgen with a 350. I also have forged pistons. I was thinking of spraying at 3000 rpms. I only rev. the motor to 5200 rpms.

From what I have seen cobras perform vary well on the spray.

NGK's or Autolites seem to work well for nitrous
