Default Please help with nitrous question!!!

I had a 125 wet shot jets intalled with 5*of timing pulled. I upped the shot to 150 and pulled 6* of timing, bit the 125 felt like it hit much harder and moved faster... is this possible? Or should I leave timing for 150 shot at 5*?

Did you run the correct fuel jet for the 150 as well?

Bottle pressure was the same... 900-1000ish.

Not the fuel, have a racetronix installed.

Jets are 63nitrous 35fuel, hsw kit.

Timing pulled 6*


Could it be blowing through the converter? I had it spec'd out for nitrous tho.
Car is mechanically sound, no issues... a friend said if it runs rich in fuel it'll slow me down but be safe. He also mentioned that 35fuel maybe on the rich side.

Rich is not safe and a 38f for that shot is super rich. You need to learn and plugs, or at least get a wideband as a guide. I bet if you drop 7-8 fuel jet sizes, you'll feel it then!

Every car is different, but I bet it's still rich. To give you an idea, a 35f with a 78n on my car was rich. The plugs will tell you.

Though, the last three pics with the threads cut off are too rich for my liking.

Default Replaced spark plugs and gave it a hit

I changed the spark plugs (br7ef) and made some small pulls on the 150 hit. It didnt feel any stronger, even though the bottle pressure was at 900 psi but low on liquid, still felt a kick to it though.
I pulled the plugs soon after to check them out, seemed ok, but then again not sure if it was because the bottle low.

I Couldn't upload pics, guess my phone takes em too big, Please follow the link below, and go to post #750.

http://www.thirdhonk.com/community/i...ly.690/page-38

The two pics above where of plugs i used when running a dry hit, with no timing pulled and completely unsafe.
The 3 pics below on that post are the new ones I pulled out after i made the pulls.


Thoughts?...

Could it be just my solenoid not keeping up with the nitrous demand and freezing up?
