Dude forgot the bottle heater on, causing pressure to rise well above 1600psi.

A Ferrari F355 with a 100 dry shot at WOT is somthing.
Uh, that would be in Denver? Mile High City? Where the air is thin? Never crossed my mind but I guess it makes sense.

This question occurred to me while I was pondering getting my V-AFC and NOS. (V-AFC has been shipped) Normally of course I drop my baby from 7k+ RPMs, but with the addition of nitrous, would you launch from much lower rpms, and then squeeze the nitrous at low rpms to fill the lack of torque while still in 1st gear?

FYI-that link/picture/story of the guy that blew up his garage is a pretty well known internet HOAX. It's been around for a few years and is bogus. Don't believe everything you see.
