How did nitrous get such a bad rep...?

I'm under the impression that pretty much any motor could take a hundred fifty shot... Of course done correctly...


My buddy Ron who regularly raced a Barracuda at Milan Dragaway used to tell me about how he always saw the ford guys put nitrous on their stock 5.0 Mustangs and then within 5-8 runs would blow the head gaskets... Duh... :realcrazy:

And those were the days before Fast-N-Furious...
