Default Question about nitrous tune

I recently had my car tuned for a 150 wet shot. Only thing that worries me is I've seen multiple threads stating that you do NOT want to be too rich on a nitrous tune. On mine, its 10:1 all the way across the board.

Is this TOO rich?

Im prretty sure you want to be in the high 11's low 12's. From what I understand your borderline on lifting a ring running that rich.

Can I adjust it by switching out the fuel jet?

how does it run?
i'd just go back to the tuner and take it up into the 11-12 range.

Might not hurt anything on only a 150 shot but its going to be slow.

get it in the high 11's - low 12's to be safe and fast.

Yes, especially if it only runs this rich on the bottle.

Well I got a decent gain out of it. Went from 457\395 to 590\603. It runs fine. I haven't been able to get a good run with the spray because the nitrous solenoid stuck open. I'll have to wait till' I get them replaced.

Hmm, are you sure that the sensor is still good?

I don't have a wideband. It was the one they used on the dyno.
