Racin Jason....not everyone is mechanically inclined. No need to bash.

Red2002..its gonna be hard to troubleshoot your problem without you knowing more about whats going on. Best advice is to bring it to the shop that did the install and have them fix it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Default Someone Help with this Problem!

I took my car to the shop and they installed a Purge Kit. When I was at the shop it worked fine. I got home and tried it again and didnt work. Later that night I left with my girlfriend in her car. As im passing by my car I hear SSSSSSSS, so Im like what the fu? So I pick up the hood and the purge connected to the Nitrous Hose was leaking bad, but the tank was closed tight. I take it to the shop and they fix the leak in like 1 minute (they just tightened the purge). I take it to the track (bottle opened) and purge it everything's fine. I make a run on a 150 shot and NO GAIN? So i run it with the tank closed and the same time. I run it with 150 shot and same time. Something is very wrong, my tank is opened and everything. Anyone have an idea whats wrong? If this helps any, The shop installed my the headers and 3:73's 1 hour and a half before I ran my car. But they didnt touch the nitrous lines or anything....

didnt mean to be an ***, but if its on your car you need to know about it.

-if you have a wet kit, and the nitrous is not working you would bogg down horribly.
-FPSS could have been messed with
-full throttle switch has probably moved
-window switch may not be installed right, or there is no pills...? these are just the safety devices that you should check, or get, if you dont have them already.
