Default Well lost a race, and blew my engine at the same time.

Well guys... The 200 shot of N.O.S was enough to grenade my motor... I was racing a kawi ZX9R down the highway, and of course he was ahead of me, so I hit the spray, and as I hit it, I heard some ticking, but I figured as I was catching up ( there was a curve ahead and he was slowing down ) I may as well keep going... we get around the bend, and I was about 10 or so feet behind him, and in my rearview I seen smoke... blue and more blue... my temp gauge went to the red, and my rad blew, and as I have no hood, I could not see a thing... so I put my car accidently in the ditch, and got out, no damage to the body, the whole motor was smoking... I tried to start the car, and nothing, didnt even crank... heard the starter, but nothing... Anyways... I lost the race, what a way to go, at least I have a good exuse... now I need to invest in a new engine... thinking of a N.O.S fed 396 or 427...

did you think you could safely run a 200 shot on a motor not built for it?

that motor was aftermarket i had thought and previously equipped with the 200 by the prev owner so i probably would have sprayed it too.....

go 454 and de-stroke it to a 40x or 39x, rev that ***** up to 12k
