Default Car is hard to get started after nitrous run. Have ?

I'm currently running a NX wet kit on my 99 SS. The car is hard to start after I make a nitrous run. It seems the car losses fuel pressure or something. The car has Heads/cam, LS6 intake, 30 lb injectors, and a walbro 255 intank fuel pump.

I've checked the fuel pressure it's at 64 psi. What else would cause the car to not start?

Thanks

Chris,

I wrote you an email

A car that surges during a wet nitrous run, then doesn't start or run easily may have burned off the tip of all of the sparkplugs during the pass. This can be caused by excessive lean conditions or too hot of a plug.

I'm planning on pulling the plugs tonight. If the plugs look ok. Then what should I look at? Does it mean I'm getting to much fuel?

Thanks

I checked my plugs last night. All looked good. What else would be wrong?

Thanks

So let's try the opposite. Make a run and pull a plug. Since it's a wet kit, I'm thinking it could be TOO much fuel, making it hard to start.

Running pig-rich on the hose?
