Default N2o cutting out ?

Ok I seem to be having a problem. My N2O is cutting (pulsing) in and out in the higher RPM's. Feels like hesitation. Also when I push the purge button in the car the volt gauge dips down quite a bit but returns to normal when I let off. I had the Batt and alt checked and both are fine ... Any Ideas ?

What is your airfuel?
What is your bottle pressure?
What does the volts drop down to?
Where are you pulling your power from to feed the accessory switch?
Where are you pulling your power to feed the power to the relay?

1. Its about 11.8/11.9
2. 1000 psi to 1050 psi
3. It goes from over 13 volts to around 11
4. I'm not sure .. I had a shop install this kit..
5. See answer 4...
Thing is I've had this on for sometime and it just started happening..
BTW.. I bought it all from you guys...

I would say check your air fuel ratio first. If it were a voltage problem it wouldnt just happen at high rpm. Does it ever improve when you switch and the rpms drop? If not i wouldsay you are probably extremely rich and your bottle pressure has dropped enough to notice.

Improve when I switch ? Switch what ? Its a 150 shot..
I was told that at High RPM the Ignition gets weak and the noids have to have a certain voltage to stay open. It feels like they are opening and closing rapidly...
