rev limit and nitrous
Is it safe to hit the rpm cap while spraying? Can't seem to find any data on this.
The reason I ask is I have the 6port AT and 7500 rpm can sneek up on you. Is it safe to floor it through the gears? Or should I let off WOT while shifting?
What happens if I have it floored and hit the rev limiter? Will I experience a catastrophic backfire that will blow my intake to pieces?
... Just some things I'd like to know... so the mad scientist won't have to worry about ripping apart my block, and replaceing the piston rings I fried.

I wouldn't.
I've blown one manifold while tuning. Main issue is that when throttle plate is closed the Nitrous pools, and it's easy to get a manifold backfire. Rule of thumb, anytime your throttle plate is not at WOT and air is not moving through the intake track at full speed; the wet NOS system can backfire into the intake.
