Make sure if you have a window switch it is properly set, make sure your WOT switch does not stick in the activate position, check your lines and just go over your wiring one last time, especially your fuel solenoid wiring since if it doesnt open youre fucked.

Really though if you havent used nitrous yet I would start out with a little 75 shot to get the hang of it.

^^i agree, start a little smaller if you have never used it before. i started with a 50, then moved to 100 the next week. also, have a friend sit in the car while you hold the nozzle in the air. use your finger to activate the wot switch and have him rev it to whatever your window switch should activate at. If it sprays this will let you know that everything is working

So you think I should cut the shot to like a 50 to start? Sounds like a good idea....

A 75 is a good starting shot, its just a nice decent size kick. Also on your first try you may want to leave the bottle pressure around 950, that way you are a little richer, it wont hit as hard but you will be able to listen for any ping the first time around. If its good then heat up the bottle more. I personally like to heat my bottle to 1100-1150 PSI.

I would put race gas in it, or at least mix some in with your gas in the tank already. My old H/C setup didn't like the 150 shot unles i had race gas, and i also had timing pulled out.
