waisted spark means that 2 cyl fire simultainiously ie 1-4 2-3
When No 1 is on its power stroke when you have very long cams no 4 inlet valves can be open thus some of the nitrous is exposed to a spark and can blow your inlet .boost hoses and split your intercooler
oh yes and bonnet off

That ofcourse makes sense, I'm just curious of how other get around this ?

Surely quite a lot of modern engines are running wasted spark these days and people still Nitrous them.

You do sounds like you have had a bad experience though

Were you running sequential ignition? cause if not i fail to see why you dont get a backfire off gas as well as there would still be a spark on that cylinder and still be fuel present?

On the subject of cams, typically most modern engines are tuned around short duration big lift, and thats usually even more the case on the inlet side of an engine specced to run nitrous.
