Default Is this healthy?

100 shot on a stock B18C with CAI and dc header (4-1). I don;t want to do this setup but a guy has this and wants to race. I personally think it is destroying the motor.

if he doesnt at least have an adjustable fuel pressure regulator, then hes about to have a big *** hole in one of his exhaust valves. why dont you do a poll on which exhaust valve is gonna burn up? i got dibs on #4 that guys a dumbass for runnin nitrous anyways. nitrous is fake power. its neat for awhile, but ill never run it again.

It could be very healthy (fast and safe) if tuned right

NO2 is great for "Power when you need it".. But 100 shot huh? It'll work, I'd imagine 3 maybe 4 runs and that engine's toast..

it could last for 100,000 miles
it could last 1 run on the track.
luck and time will tell.

all i know for sure is the person running that should be kicked in the head for being that stupid. no fuel setup and no tuning
