Default f14 w/ disappointing nitrous results

Made 478rwhp and 466rwtq w/ 100hp NX wet shot. NA numbers were 397rwhp and 376rwtq. Have graph if anyone wants to host it for me.
For some reason Allan couldnt get rid of the surging problem. He tried many things like -plugs(different heat ranges)
-swapped plug wires
-tried different plug gaps
-swapped coil packs
-went richer\leaner
-checked\relocated engine grounds
-checked and moved nitrous grounds
-swapped bottles and line
-made kit a dry system
-swapped MAF
-swapped nitrous nozzle
-played with nitrous jetting
-played with timing(low and high)
-different bellows
-added a little 103 race gas
-check all wiring and misc electrical
-bypassed MSD window switch
-gezz a few other thing I can't remember right now.
but to no avail. He thinks it might be something internal or a head gasket. The more spray he gave it, the worse it got. The 100hp graph looks like someone spazzed out while trying to draw an arch, its really weird looking. The nitrous just comes in and goes out. Anyone got any ideas?

so he thinks there is something cuasing it to be low... i was hoping my tnt 100 shot would add 125rwhp with this cam... mine is on a 114lsa, and the tnt is rear wheel rated tho, but still, hope its just not the cam, dont see how it could be since its so close to the f11 f13 ect that did great #'s

everything he tried didnt work so he figures there's possibly something wrong internally thats robbing the power.
Ur TNT kit should do very well. i figured i would've gotten 500rwhp w/ the 100hp wet shot but somethings holding it back and i dunno what it is

Sounds to me like the nitrous solenoid is cycling on/off.
This is usually associated with a current limiting problem such as bad wiring connections or a component in the wiring (circuit) that cannot handle the current requirements of the solenoid.

I think that is normal for just a 100 shot, which is more like 80rwhp.

Yeah, that kind of blows. Why didn't he just throw in a 125 hp jet?

I think you just have too many toys. LOL

i do have a FPSS. He said the more gas he gave it the worse it got so 125hp wouldnt have done any good. Said the 150shot was horrible.
Allan said he checked all the wiring and the noids and they were good.
What internal prob could cause this?

What could be happening is that your FP is dropping just enough to signal the FPSS switch off thus turning off your N20. Once the FP rises back up it comes back on, thus your surging. The more gas they gave it the worse it got because it went below the FPSS cut off point faster and more rapidly. Throw a guage on it and make sure your FP is good enough then back the screw out on the FPSS to keep it from cutting on/off and it should fix your problem.
