Default Nitrous Dont hit hard

Ive been having a delima with my car. The kit i have is a NX kit and it had the shark nozzle. I used it on my gt and with a 125 it hit insanely hard. So i sold the car kept the kit put in on my TA. Timing pulled 4 degrees and 150 shot with a dual stage nitous outlet plate using only 1 stage. With bottle pressure at 1050 fresh bottle, lines purged, jets in correctly the car hits the same as the nozzle did on a 50 shot?!?!?!? I dont understand what keeps it from hitting hard the car went from a 8.33 on motor to a whopping 8.01 first pass on nitrous and sprayin gout the gate it went 7.88 this is on et street 27x11.5x16 the 60ft are almost the EXACT same on and off spray cars not spinning or anything. Anyone that can share some light on this please do thanks. Im thinking of going back to the nozzle to see will that make a difference.

Try using both stages at the same time.

As in 75 in one, 75 in the other set to come on at the same time.

Without more info no one can help you.

What jets do you have in? What timing are your running? What plugs?

11.1 is rich.

at 800psi and 11.1, it at least appears its probably rich as hell when you hit it then cleans up. then again, post a plug up for review.

Getting your bottle pressure a little higher (900-950) should lean it out. Get the pressure up and run it and get us some pics of plugs.

You could be having a little bit of a lean spike or a rich condition in the beginning of the shot. Do you have a fuel pressure gauge? What are you running fuel system and what kind of mods do you have?

Get the nitrous pressure up to 900-950 and see how much it cleans the fuel up.

It should lean it out a good bit. See what that does for you and report back.

I would switch to the BR7EF's asap because it's a whole lot better of a plug to spray on.
