Default just a quick question

I went to the track and ran a few runs with my new tires. the car hooked great off the line and throught the shift but I did not feel like the nitrous was working. I could feel it hit in first gear but could not tell if it was spraying in 2 and 3. I took the lid off the next day and my nozzel had rotated and was spraing strainght up (it is a dry kit that is sprying throught the lid). I put the nozzel right were the bend in the lid is going to the TB. my question is how much of the differance will it make with it sparying stright up onto the top of the lid rather then the usual way where it sprays straight into the TB.

i have not run the quarter yet. Me and one of my buddies are planning on going up to thundervalley some time. right now i am trying to fix my car.

last night i was at the track and this time the car did the same, pulled hard in 1st did not feel it in 2 and then when i shifted into third the car almost died. I checked the plugs pulled two out and they look good and are TR6. i pulled the lid off just now and the nozzel had turned the other way again. when i ran with out nitrous i did not feel as strong in 1 but feet stronger in 2 and 3. does any one have any sugestion.
