I was completely focused on staging, and forgot. I did open the bottle and purge though.

One time I forgot to turn my bottle on, and while watching the wideband during that run I was wondering why my A/F dropped down to 10.0...?????

Oh...damn oops!

I think we've all done it at one time or another. One thing I did was wire my purge to the master nitrous switch. That I knew it was off if I couldn't purge.

Lately may problem has been remembering to open the second bottle

Nitrous does suck!!!!

You need to refill bottles, open bottles, close bottles, hope you don't spin out too much in the lower gears because there is no throttle control on basic NOS systems..Hope it is turned on when you need it most...What else oh and it's hard on the your motor and drivetrain.. Your basically also driving around with a bomb in your trunk Via an Arab car bomber.. Am I forgeting anything else? Oh and nos refills are bank over time..

I know this because I run nitrous... Wish I was supercharged instead...

However, when the nitro kicks you do get big power and torque and for that reason alone I still run it... Getting tired of it....

Well tires can fix the spinning part and throttle control or also a fjo would take care of that . How many cars have you heard blowing up becosue of having a nitrous bottle in the back ? You also drive around with a gas tank in the back of your car so are you saying were driving around with a bomb anyways ? You can have the supercharger if i dont have nitrous turbo is the only way to go.
