Nitrous needs a good ignition system and optisparks suck.

Try closing the gap down to .025 and try it again. That should take care of it, until you upgrade the ignition system.

We had the same problem last night on our nitrous car. Found out the oxygen sensors are done. Is it having a hard time idling?

Do you have a fuel pressure gauge on the fuel rail or in the car?

Are you running a nitrous filter? If so, check it to see if its clogged....also if you pull the AN to NPT fitting out of the nitrous solenoid, does it have a screen on it? If so, see if its clogged. Jump up to a .59 nitrous and leave the .35 fuel in there and see how it responds.

the TR8's are gonna lose some power NA . The plugs are a quick fix but you might wanna throw a WB o2 sensor on it to see where your at are jet to fix the problem and switch back to a TR6 to get the most out of it NA and on spray. I have a LM1 WB o2 that you could throw on it if you have a o2 bung welded in
