Default nitrous not working?

I went to the track last night to try out nitrous for the first time. When the car's off I can hear it spray when I hit the switch. When it's on though, it doesn't really feel any faster. My bottle is lighter than when I started so I know it's working, but I ran identical times to what I was doing before... What's going on here? NOS dry with FPSS, single .048 jet. I bypassed the FPSS and it still doesn't make any difference.

Are you spraying before the maf or after? Do you have a pressure gauge on your bottle? What was the pressure when you were spraying?

Before the MAF. I don't have a nitrous pressure gauge but if it could be pressure related I could pick one up.

It's possible, if you get a pressure gauge and a bottle heater to up the pressure to where it should be and it still doesn't work you might want to stop spraying and get somebody to log the car for you, it could be fuel related or your maf might be faulty!

You need to get a pressure gauge and varify airfuel.
