Is it usually a wet or dry kit that has more of a tendancy to do that?

Gotcha,Ive heard our intakes arent designed to have fuel going thru them.
I guess a dry kit is the way to go,any disadvantages to a dry kit?

Dry kits have a tendency of running lean that means boom for the motor

I know this is a really old thread but you will be glade i was using the search option....
did anyone else that saw this video see the fire coming from exhaust and right before the big bang the fire went away.... could the explosion been from him staying on the nitrous and getting out of the throttle?

Wow, I am surprised this is still on there almost a year later.
Yeah I saw the fire out the exhaust although it looked to me like something was scraping on the ground.

This explosion was caused by a failure of the ignition box.
