Sounded like they killed that Cummins though. Good thing the S-10 ran out of nitrous on that pass, because I don't think the Cummins was going to make another pass.
When the nitrous runs out, it still is spraying fuel. So it goes extremely rich and makes way less power then if the whole nitrous system was just turned off. The driver of the S-10 must have reached over and shut the system off. Otherwise that truck would have been smoking more then the Cummins.
I got to wonder what made Bully Dog choose the Dodge truck. Since I hear so many saying the Duramax respondes better to mods.
Well, they should be able to get enough out of that S-10 to buy a new Cummins for the Dodge.
For those who didn't see the show, a hole in the rad took out the Cummins. They ran it without coolant.
Near as I can figuire, the engine without coolant and overheated should cause the engine to derate. But they kept injecting the nitrous to get some power. So it could have been real lean as well as overheated.

Actually the guy said there was no common rail diesel in the 10 sec range. 
And that he had brought a 13 sec drag truck
it was a great episode even knowing the outcome I was still on the edge of my seat.

The Cummins is considered to have better overall power potential.

Your right, I would have scaled that bottle before each run. It totally baffles me what I see on that show. Forgetting to turn on the bottle is the most common.
The other thing that kills me is accusing the other guy of losing on purpose.
Playing the game means running just fast enough to win. Not giving away races.
