When you have the SES light blinking, you have a major problem. For example, one cylinder is not working right. 75 or 100 shot is fine for a stock engine. But, if you had the NOS on and miss shifted hitting the rev limiter, it could cause a problem. You could bend a pushrod or break a spring easy!

I would say, check all the wires very carefully. Then, change your spark plugs if the wires are ok. I think that is where your problem is!

One more thing! Get NGK TR6 plugs gaped at 45, they are way better!
