there was a guy in my area, bought one brand spanking new, and before he left the dealer with it, had the nitrous hooked up, then ran it, did not even make it 2 miles before he blew up his motor without the warranty... oops...

hmmm, that's odd. From the dealer, they only come with the bottle, no nitrous, and unhooked. So I have no idea where he got the nitrous from. And he probably didn't know how to use nitrous, and is stupid enough to use it on an unbroken-in engine.
