Maxed out coils need big nos users help!!!

Okay guys this is whats going on.We went to the track the other night and we are getting a not so happy motor when on the bottle.We made are first run with a 24 nos jet in the fogger and the car just had a little unhappy feeling in it when we made the pass.It feels like its surging and its not poping.Know we put a little bit bigger shot in it because everything looked good when we pulled the car back( plugs egt temp) And the car feels good on the hit and when it trys to rev it just struggles very unhappy.Im just wondering if i maxed out my stock coils,i don't have the truck coils but i was getting prices and there not that much less then the msds.fire away on problems to check but im thinking my high compression 408 on the bottle is not happy with the spark plus the coils are old.

if it was ingnition wouldnt you get a lot of unburned fuel? I would think the logs would show the A/F richer than all hell and a low EGT

My wideband saids 9.10 afr most all the time and my egts stay around 1200 no matter what i do.But when you pull the plugs they are not bad but the tip is crusty and there is no heat ring on the eletrode of the plug almost like the spark is blown out.The first set of plugs were gaped at 35 and the surge was pretty bad and then we put another set in gaped at 28 and it was better but still not right.

I am sure you checked all the normal stuff, like bad bottle fill, nitrous noid working correctly and the such? yea, she's running a little rich, but the EGT didn't show any temp difference from normal a/f temps?

I wouldn't bank on it being the coils. I've never heard of a nitrous lsx maxing those out.

You said it surges but the wideband shows a consistant number? Those two don't usually go together. I would guess it's a fuel issue or the kit isn't staying on if you think it's surging.
