13.37 to 13.70=0.33 difference in ET
3.23 to 3.73 is not a big gain.
I have seen weather cause a .4 difference in ET
Other contributing factors could be traction, difference in stall speed, etc. too many variables without more info (weather, MPH, 60')
but I seriously doubt the nitrous caused it.

I doubt anything happened. Look for things that would decrease performace...any codes...it may be as simple as a plug swap.

Or it could be your driving style is affected due to your use of nitrous.

What was your MPH on the before and after runs?

Default adverse affects of nitrous

I have a 1999 WS6. the car has 6100 miles on it. when I purchased it new I took it to the track and ran 13.34/ 13.37 stock. I ran nitrous on the car and made about 20 passes with a best of 12.21.
I have taken the nitrois of and installed a 3.73 gear over the stock 3.23 gear. the car now only runs 13.70's whats the problem. has any one else seen this on there car. DID THE 75 SHOT NOTROUS HURT THE ENGINE IN SOME WAY. I have auto tap and have always watched the o2.
