Default Throttle body sticking after Kick

I have a wet kit set up right before the throttle body. Kick comes on strong, but after finished spraying, the throttle body seems to stick a bit for a few moments. After a couple minutes of driving and opening and closing the throttle body butterfly, the sticking goes away. Do you think the N2O is freezing the TB butterfly and causing it to swell thus not allowing it to move smoothly? The butterfly has no problem closing, but sticks when opening after a N2O shot.

I don't have this problem on my LS1 car, but one of my old cars used to do this. I always just used it was from it freezing.

My LT1 throttle body does exactly what you describe. It always sticks shut after spraying. After a good tap on the gas, its back to normal.

Same here. Everytime I spray it makes the TB stick (running a TNT 150 shot, wet). No biggie though, just like the others, I just give the throttle a few quick blips and everything is back to normal.
