Default Purging and Nitrous Backfires
I just got my car back from having a NX system installed. I have read several posts about nitrous backfires. Does purging really good before a run reduce the risk of a backfire? I had a Fuel Pressure Safty Switch, Window Switch installed also. Any suggestions for using the system for the first time.

purging will help reduce the risk, but your window switch is what will really save you from puddling.

Yep, use a window switch to make sure you dont spray at too low of an RPM. 3k minimum in my opinion.
