Default Nitrous gains at the track??

I ran at an 1/8th mile track last week. I ran a 7.1 on the motor.. I only gained .14 (6.96) with a 150 shot.. Does this seem right? I would have thought It would have dropped at lease 3/10tenths.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks guys.

You need to check your system. We were running 7.2 n/a and hit a 6.687 with a 100 shot wet kit.

a tenth gain is not right. Check your system.

Could have been a bad fill on the bottle.

I feel better I think. .... Bottle pressure was about 1050.. It was a hot , muggy day and I couldnt see nitrous when I purged..

Guess I will have to try again and see what happens. The place I got the nitrous from said they were about out.

Wonder if I got short changed??
