Here's another question for the guys pushing the limits. Where is the boom factor? I want to go faster so I turn up the boxes, pane and the jetting on the N2O. Is there a point where the safety factor(for the engine) starts to fall fast? I know these mods are shortening the life span, and I take that in stride. Just wondering where the kaboom limit might be, or should'nt I worry yet.

It depends on the motor. Some fail sooner than others. I have run huge amouts of pane and N2O compared to ever one else and had a head gasket let go after months of testing. Others have kaboomed at much less N2O from grenaded pistons. If you don't do it right, you can melt it down very easly as well.
