the problem that me and a buddy both are having is if we go over 1000 psi it wants to break up so I ordered some bigger solenoids yesterday hopefully that will fix my problem. My 02's are at 910 on a 125 shot and no knock either <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

That sounds like a plug gap thats too big. Did you try gapping tighter? What are they gapped at now?

I always run my 5177 at 1150 psi. On that kit the more pressure the more nitrous flow the more HP. What happens when you go higher in pressure?

The best way for me to explain it is its kinda like when you hit the rev limiter type deal and breaks up. A buddy was telling that the selinoids are turning on and off because of to much pressure <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

If we were talking about powershot noids, and like 1300+ PSI, then maybe. But I doubt that 1000 PSI will do that. I tend to agree with Al on this one. Sounds to me like you are possibly blowing out the spark. I think that 40 might be too big, considering you are like 420 rwhp on motor, + your 125 shot. I'd consider dropping down to 36, and see if it helps. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
