This is what happens when nitrous is not installed properly

I advise anyone with nitrous or thinking of getting it to look at this. Nitrous can be dangerous, which many people do not seem to realize.

Or just install it properly. Hooking the bottle heater to an unswitched 12 volt source is just plain stupid. That's like playing russian roulette with all 6 chambers loaded.

Holly poop!!! That's scary.

As my dad always says, "Don't overlook the obvious!!!"

Obviously they overlooked.........

Safety!!!!!!

I'd beat the living crap out of one of my friends if they did something like that. After I got done with 'em, they'd wish they were in the back of that car instead!!!
