Default help.i think something is wrong..

i took my car to the track last night for little fun... now i have slicks to help and the 9'' and bumped to 150 shot with open caps. first run luanch around 4- 4500. got into the nos off the line and bam, pulled a 1.64 60'.. best the cars ever done. hit a slick spot or something on the track had to get out of it. still ran 12.0 at 119. second time i thought i would launch a little harder since it felt good at 4500 so i let her eat at 5500.. pulled off the line and then died.. yep.. it killed but not at first.. it jumped off the line.. and its not the battery ,, i already had the problem before and i checked that. the only thing i noticed is that my volts was really low.. can this be a factor,.. the third time i was really upset so i left at 6400 off the rev and at 5800 the nos is on.. same damn thing, jumped the car right of the line and then in killed itself.. some please have some ideas cuz i don't have a f....k.....g clue. the only thing that i can think of is that its not got enough amp or volts.. it might be surging. but i have everything wired direct to battery. and its new also.... please help.. thanks

Is the car actually shutting off, or is it just losing power and falling on it's face?

Is it indicator & 'trouble lights' that are coming on...the headlights, acc lights? Have you scaned for codes? Did you do a visual inspection of your electrical system? If there are no aparent smushed or broken wires check all grounds then check voltage at the battery with the key on. If the voltage is ok then start wiggling and moving wires and watch the volt meter for changes. Don't froget to check out the fuel pump and associated wiring. Electrical gremlins can be hard to sort out.

no codes, no ses lights. i had almost a half a tank.. what makes no sense is that it came off really pretty at 4000 grand .. shouldn't it do the same think at 5500.. could low voltage be a problem.. when does it begin to not work the system right.

inertia safety switch? Leaving like that on nitrous is gotta be a hell of a shock to the chassis.
