Hello MoPar Guy
Welcome to the website. I've never owned a MoPar hotrod, but I've been up against plenty of them, 340s, 383s, 440s, no Hemis, Thank God for that!
Anyway, nitrous used to be found only at the Dentist's office, and I kinda think that's where it should still be. Me, I try to do it on high octane gasoline, high compression, big cam, and big gears in the punkin'. It's strictly 60s and early 70s stuff for me I guess. I was already a family man when the kids started putting laughing gas to their engines. A lot of them came to the same grief that you did, the flame got a little to hot in the combustion chamber. If you'd ever been in an analytical chemistry lab and seen someone using an AA (atomic adsorption spectrometer) with nitrous on the oxidizing flame, you wouldn't want that wicked red flame in your motor either. I swear, its ruby red with a bright blue fringe around the edges; pretty but very destructive. And that's exactly why they use it for AA; rips those metal molecules into their respective atoms in a flash.
Anyway, you don't need a lecture in chemistry or hotrodding. just want you to know you're free to shoot the breeze about your car(s) anytime you want.
Randy
