What RPM are you spraying from? I have seen cars do what you described when they spray from below 3k.

I have had the bottle and same jets for over 2 years and never had a problem.
I have always run the 93 octane gas and have never heard knocking. Every now and then, wanting the car to run better I add octane boost. I have sprayed below 3K before no problems till recently, and when I spray in 2nd gear I still hear it and I know it's above 3k when I'm on it in 2nd. Wondering if the jets are squirting to the side of the throttle body and not not hitting the senser that adjust the timing?????????????????????? I will check it tomorrow and add octane boost and try it. What else could it be? Dave's outlet? By the way the car has an automatic.

The car runs fine when no nitrous is used. Still under warranty. Wish it would do it all the time while accelerating, I would bring it to the factory for fixing.

There should be no sensors getting hit by anything with a wet shot?

unless you have some fancy stuff I dont know about

Nitrous Dave I got the kit from you. So you know it's not the kit. could the plugs be melting and causing this. The reason I asked I have the acdelco factory plugs. Spec's. say normal gap is 60K and A service tech from a dealer where I purchased the car new said just to gap the plugs to 45k to 48k and I would be fine. I have run at the track 4 times without nos and 1 time with and no problems ran fine and have toastes some cobras and a zo6 2 times and no problems until the last two times I used it. I used silicone to mount the nozzle to the throttle body that is why I asked it was aming the wrong way might be the problem?

I know that everytime I have used the bottle and turned the car off within 10 min of using it the next timeI try to start it, while the motor is still warm it takes a extra turn on the key, other than using the bottle, just touch the key and it' starts fine.

Your talking about the MAF ( mass air flow )

If it going through there then it should be a DRY shot ( no fuel )

and that will adjust the fuel not the timing

On a 150 shot you should be using TR6's ( one step colder plug ) and a little tighter gap.

and -4 degrees of timing

you prolly melted a plug or 8

I would pull all the plugs and check them.

I put the tr6's in in the beginning gap was at 36k and when the car warmed up it had a bad miss, bad enough that I couldn't stop without the motor killing on me. Called the friend who works for a dealer and has LS1's and is their service tech for 20 years. told him what I did and he said the gap was too small, and asked why I used the tr's and said to go back with the acdelco's and gap them at 45k to 48k because this car has the most stout eletronic system on the market and uses a 60k gap foctory. set to 48k and worked fine for 2 years, he said I was giving it only half of the fire it needed.

I just use the tr6 gap straight out of the boxif it misses then take them out to 40. And go from there. I can't believe your spraying on factory plugs that long and can you clarify what sensor your talking bout that pulls timing? Burn plug, does your n20 kit have a filer? That might be clogged. Good luck
