Default Question

Went and tried the 150 shot for first time after installing the new racetronix pump and it broke up terribly bad then pulled the jets and the no2 pill smelled like fuel and had fuel on it what's that mean? Clogged nozzle?

Are you sure you didn't flip flop the jets and put the fuel where nitrous should have been?

New pump is pumping more fuel.

You need a smaller fuel jet.

As you lean it out each time with a progressively smaller jet, pull 2 degrees of timing and check the plugs!

The pump is not the problem. Tuning your nitrous is the issue.

If you have the hotwire kit installed the pump may be running at a higher pressure and flow more fuel under load so that COULD change how your nitrous was tuned. All i know is I am spraying a 225 shot on my racetronix pump with no issues.
