I am sure there was a massive lean out going on. Hopefully it is only the plugs that melted. Where on earth did you get the idea to dump straight nitrous into the intake? Nitrous needs to go from liquid to gas through a nozzle, with fuel added to prevent melt downs and keep cylinder temps down and timing needs to be taken out of the program. Added fuel is a must for most vehicles! That was a bone head move. Nitrous is relitively safe if used correctly, emphasis on correctly!

A 2005 Z06 still would have handed you your azz. Way too much weight on a pick-up.

Check the plugs, do a compression test, you may want to pull the heads and see what damage was done to your valves, check your pistons, and hopefully you didn't f*** it up to much. Consider this a lesson learned the hard way....
