Nitrous Laugh

Well, we always look for, or used to, a good laugh now and again. I wish BOR was still kickin' around, but methinks Vader will do well with this one...

To keep it tech here are a few questions...

Should this happen to a Thirdgen, how long before the cam shatters, and how would one have to position the nozzle?...

Would enough of a shot (s) with some blowby make an impressive sight on... er... in the pavement?...

How easily could one defeat this idiot.. er... mechanically challanged individual in a race with his stickers and 'NOS'?...

Do you think GM would void their warranty on a crate block do to this 'oversight'?

ok, enough foreplay:

I don't know ede, don't you remember the member who used a leave blower as a super charger right here on TGO. He could only run the car in his driveway, cause of the "power cord length issue"...
So with that in mind, I can count at least a few scenarios where members might do this.

Should have used a 30mm x 600mm drill straight down through the cam cover for more even distribution of the oxidizer through the engine. Even with a correct istallation, that's what's going to happen eventually, anyway.

I think a larger, V8 engine would require a nozzle in each cover for maximum effect.

Hmm... the boy has over 11K posts, the mistake seems to be a prevalent goof in the ***** community and since it is so prevalent, I fail to see how this is 'fake'. Stupid yes, thus the entertainment value. I never stated the boy was original, IIRC I posted it for fun. i.e. entertainment. Not having fun? What's the saying? Change the channel... get out... turn it off.

I'm tired of seeing these stupid responses on this board, but you don't see many, if any, responses to them by me do you? I've long since grown tired of correcting misinformation as well. C'mon dude, I could care less if it was fake, it's funny and it's really done!

Just laugh or skip it, why take the time to try and ruin it for everyone else?
