Default popping at high rpms

hey i just started to spray my car and have a CF 100 shot wet i didnt pull any timing and i have tr6s but havent put them in yet i have tr5s in now. 2 things first when i flip the switch the nitrous dosent instantly engadge and i am at WOT and some times it doesent feel like its on,and also when it does kick in (wow I love it) when the car gets above 5k it pops or cuts out is this due to my plugs.before i installed the lines i checked the noid,relay,WOT switch and it was all working properly. i have even checked it with the lines hooked up and held the fuel line to a rag and the nos line in the air and it worked properly.

on another note i sprayed on a c6 zo6 and ran dead even till we hit 50-60 the nitrous started cutting in and out .

From what I have heard when this happens you are running lean.

Same thing happend on my mustang. It was lack of fuel pressure for me but I'm guessing it's your plugs. Try a little smaller gap and see what happens.

as long as you have stock timing you should be fine with a 100 shot and tr6's and retarding the timing is not going to make you faster

The Racetronix kits are a factory replacement item, so they do retain all of the factories fuel system functionally. The plain jane Walbro pumps are not, you'll have to do some modifying of the fuel system to get them to work. The Racetronix systems are also plug and play. More info on the Racetronix systems can be found on this link:
