Put it on the dyno; then you will know. Also, in general a dry kit has a more noticeable initial hit when compared to the smoother initial hit of a wet shot.

He is on a progressive controller, that explains why the initial hit is not as noticable.

If you can arm your n20 with the car off and bottle off and just listen for the solenoids to click when you hit the wot switch, then you will know for sure they are functioning correctly. You might not be able to "feel" it but you should definately notice the revs climbing much quicker in your 2,3,4 gears.

The same problem I have - 100 shot gives only 25-30whp, can barely feel it if sprayed after 4500. If I spray earlier - then yes, it's more pronounced

Ohh sorry guys for not updating, my setup was not working because of a bad progressive controller solenoid driver (basically a fried relay). I defiinitely feel the 75 shot when i hit it now. It is a lot of fun. I am gonna try a 100 shot soon.
