Default Sprayed for the first time!!!!
Ok so i just got my car back , from having the harris speedworks wet kit installed, jets set at 100 shot i was nervous to say the least but i let her rip 1st-3rd gear, and man i am loving this stuff, time for suspension!!!!! How bad does bottle pressure affect, it was a bit chill out and before iw ent i only had te heater running for about 2 minutes, it went from 600-about 700, i know it wasnt an optimum ps1 but damn if it hit this good at low pressure i cant wait to see what the whole thing feels like

Sounds like a nice setup you have there. Your car must tear it up. To answer your question about PSI I would say you will notice a big difference when spraying at 1000 PSI compared to the 700 PSI you sprayed at. 700 is pretty low. It will spray much more nitrous and give you more power at 1000 PSI.

Get the bottle pressure up to where it should be and it will feel like a different car.

The first time you spray feels real good! Up that bottle pressure and hit it again you'll notice a big difference.

Do you have any dyno info from the car, or just have it installed?
Did you have the tune changed for the nitrous?
If so, how much rwhp did you loose N/A, by decreasing the timming for the Nitrous?

Remember that low bottle pressure means you are running richer than you are jetting for-

Bottle pressure is very important with nitrous. Congradulations on your first spray though. I am sure it surpassed your expectations, especially since it is in the LS1!!

That low bottle pressure will make it rich as hell. Next time run it at 1050, and it'll be even more fun.

What a feeling, isn't it? power in a bottle. And it's easy to get addicted to more. The first time I sprayed, it was more than I expected. Anyways, enjoy!
