Default My purge of intimidation is weak!

When i hit the purge on my NOS 5177, you can barely see the spray. I have the purge selinoid mounted right by the regular sel. and run an AN6 line to the back of the engine, and too the little purge tube...is this too far for the nitrous to go? My buddies NX system purges real close to the supply line and he gets that awe inspiring blast of juice. Mine looks like a pathetic little trickle! Help!

Do you have a bottle heater? Maybe your pressure is too low.

screw that little purge tube...I had mine running from the shock tower to the cowl area:

this was a solinoid to a -4AN line straight out <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I will try it again, my last bottle heater was used and did a crappy job. I just put on a new one. I will also try changing out the purge line...Thanks for all the suggestions. I will post a pic as soon as it stops raining and I can get the car out of the garage.
