He posted the story on his facebook page. Blowers have rpm limits for a reason and it sounded like they were spinning it way past it

The cutting of his hood by Chris is a cring moment and then opening it up. Damn.

The possibly at this level is why my car has a fire suppression system installed. A 20 lb bottle with two heat activated nozzles inside and two manual nozzles in the engine compartment above the headers on each side. Plus I carry a hand held halon type inside the car in case of a small or electrical fire so I don’t have to stand there jumping up and down while waiting for help. Adds about 25 lbs to the weight of the car but worth it to me. Plus I wear a real Nomex fire suit. Fire is nothing to take lightly.

Anyone who runs nitrous should have some type of fire suppression system.

spraying 500 it was a back fire. You do don’t crack a supercharger or intake unless a back fire. Barth is playing with peoples life’s for a number and sipple played right along. There is a reason you upgrade and your ego or a number should not stand in the way.

Yep, 100% saw the failure. If they had a lid with burst plates (one exists from a bitter rivalry competitor guess that’s why it wasn’t on the car) it might have saved it. Also they used the cheap paper gaskets for the supercharger, garbage. When I saw these 2 shops in the video, I knew it wasn’t going to end well
