I completely agree with Nick@HSW.
If you have a missfire before adding spray, you are simply going to amplify it and possibly hurt much more if you try to spray on top of it. You are increasing the cylinder pressures much higher than NA, you want everything in tip top shape before you add the nitrous variable into the mix.
Even when the car is running correctly, you can still have an issue. I had a missfire when I was spraying a 125 on my '94 Z28 and it ended up making a 'self aligning' rocker, un-align itself.
Moral of the story: Definitely get your stuff double checked and buttoned up before spraying. Trust me.

hey man def get that miss fixed first,ive been turning wrenches for 15 years which is nothing compared to some guys on here but for a little advice there are probably a million ways to make a car miss, if u have replaced alot of your major components start looking for the little things, start checking your powers and grounds at the pcm before you replace anything else, you could have an intermittent short to ground on one of ur injector circuits.

Lucky that's all that happened.
