Default Nitrous guys and problems

How many of you guys running nitrous have expirienced motor problems or any problems for that matter as a direct result of you running N2O. As you can probably tell I am considering a wet kit.

Never had a problem. Guys that have problems are the ones running more than their engines can handle. Just use common sense and you will be fine. When I first started using Nitrous no one used all these safety switches, man we used to hit the button (mounted on a special hurst t-grip handle:munice M22 rock crusher) at what ever RPM was needed to win race, but the jets were set at what that engine could handle. Also no blow down tubes or purge lines, man those were the days.
