The owner was pissed because you had him in a position where he had to make it right on his nickle. Geeze dude, you didn't get hurt right?

You didn't notice that the bottle was 10lbs to light, and neither did he? How did he measure the weight it to fill it?

That sounds strange to me.
If the bottle was only gas you would have been way to rich when using the NOS. That should make the engine stumble from too much fuel. (The same way it stumbles when the bottles empty)
A NOS back fire needs to be LEAN meaning Not enough fuel.
You might want to check the fuel solenoid make sure it is working.
Just my $.02

Agreed....................

BTW when you are using NOS please use a spark plug that is 2 steps colder. Hot lapping using NOS will also cause a backfire.

It'll backfire with to much fuel. I made the mistake of leaving my system armed once and sprayed by accident at wot. Kaboom, blew the CAI off.

Um... a nitrous back fire is cause by fuel puddling in the intake, once there is enough fuel it ignites, if your lucky it's while no nitrous in going through your intake(like this guy) and it just blows your air box up. If your unlucky and it back fires as your spraying the added no2 and fuel mix in your intake blows the top of the motor off. (like that gto that was posted a while back).
