sometimes it is from a wet system puddling in the intake.

I thought it was a dry system puddling in the intake?

i believe it is when you spray too low of an RPM, and fuel puddles up in the intake manifold, and is ignited from the heat of the intake valves, hence backfire.

Depends. It can be a rich detenation or a lean detenation. In the wet systems, usually fuel puddles in the intake runners due to a few different scenerios:

1. Spray pattern of nozzle (there are 3 different types, spray pattern could be getting deflected off the butterfly plate of throttle body knowking the fuel down right there, causing a puddle)
2. Nozzle to close to throttle body, not proper distribution of nitrous to fuel
3. Incorrect fuel pressure feeding fuel solenoid
4. Incoorect fuel jet and/or incorrect nitrous jet
5. Not tuned correctly

These are just a couple

Default

because the intake valve closes to soon, need to run a cam gear with nitrous to tune it out completly

Default Re: (PK SPEED)

I own the crx in that first video you showed. I was on the street and I tryed to leave at a lower engine speed to get better traction. The problem with that is if you try to introduce the nos when the motor isn't carrying enough air velocity to pull it through to the chamber it could fall out of the air and puddle . then kaboom. When my **** went kaboom in that video there was so much pressure in the intake that it blew the injector seal up over the injector body and started sraying everywhere thats why my fire was so bad. I also did a nos burnout and then slammed the throtle plate shut cuting off air. so when that happens what ever fuel that was being srayed at the time just falls to the intake floor also causing backfires. Moral of the story is always sray when on the pipe and only blip it in a burnout if your trying to purge.
The vid only has sound for me. Btw those kids have no idea it would have been a good race.
