Nitrous may be blowing through the converter - which route to go now???
I went to the track last night and it looks as if my nitrous may be blowing through my Fuddle 3400 TC My times N/A and on the 100 shot were pretty much the same. I verified that the nitrous was spraying correctly all the way to the airlid. (HSW single nozzle dry shot)
I made 5 runs total and they were all pretty consistent. Traction was pretty good on each run. I was only trapping between 103 and 105 and my times were between 13.08 and 13.48. The best and worst times were both nitrous runs and the N/A run was 13.39. The bottle had 1100 PSI and was over 1/2 full so that was not an issue.
Last year before the nitrous I ran the exact same setup N/A and I ran 12.9 at 105. This was before I had my car tuned. I had my car tuned because it was running way lean on the nitrous. I had it richened up. The tuner did not use a dyno to tune. It was done with EFILive and a wideband AF gauge.
I am thinking of locking my converter so that the nitrous will not blow through. Is that a good idea? What is the best way to do that?
I do not want to swap out my converter. I am hoping to find a way to get my current converter and my dry kit to work together so that I get maximum results with the two. Any ideas??? THANKS.

Also what are the symptoms of spraying through the converter? My car flashes at 3400 N/A and around 4300 on the nitrous. It shifts around 6200 N/A and on the nitrous.

One NA and one N2O. That should tell you something.

whats the chances your nitrous wasnt spraying? you checked it electrically... your times being the exact same makes no sense.. if its REALLY bad they should be slower and if its just slipping a little you should still see MPH gains and faster ET's

do you have a fpss???
sounds like maybe the n20 is hitting then cutting off...put that thing on the dyno and see whats going on, a 3400 stall is small, ive got e 3600 with 125 shot on it and it pulls gret...bout to put another 75 on top
or clogged noids? or bad ground/power cutting it on/off

Had the same issue when I sprayed at the track. What was happing was I hit the window switch spraying and it would pull back out. Then go back in as I was going. Pull the top pill out and then spray on the dyno. It will spray all the way threw.You need to raise the window switch pill to a higher setting to help with it. My 3600 stall did this everytime!
