Default Disapointment

I did a few test runs with nitrous and without. I can't say I notice much of a difference at all. Bottle pressure is good, everything is connected and wired right. I don't know but I'm not impressed at all. I'm only running a 125 shot right now, but I was expecting a little more.

What is your air fuel ratio? When I did a few test runs, my car was going lean and making the car run like crap.

Might want to check your plugs..cause you'd definitely feel a 125 shot.

I wouldn't say the car runs like crap. It just doesn't seem like it's any faster, but it's running and drives like it always does. I have a wide band on order, hopefully. I'm going to take it back to the shop and throw it back on the dyno and see whats going on.

How is the bottle mounted?

I didn't have it at much of an angle for a couple runs....didn't seem as if it hit very hard, tilted it back more to make sure the syfan tube picked up all the nitrous and it felt as if it was a night and day difference.

You should definitely be able to feel a 125 hit. If thats not the case wait for the wb to check AFR's etc.

Tell us some more about your setup. You should definately feel a 125 shot hit like a freight train. Did you ops check the system, or just wire it according to a schematic hoping that it works?

Sounds like your system might not be operating correctly. A 125 shot should hit pretty good. I would probably back down to a smaller shot and make sure everything is working correctly. I know when I first had juice on my car I was like wtf this sucks turned out the system wasn't even spraying.

Cant be working at all. A 125 shot is a nice kick in the *** on a basically stock car. If it were malfunctioning and only spraying fuel, it would perform worse than without it. Only spraying N20 and your motor goes pop.

The wire connections to the WOT switch were loose (but not disconnected) I reattached then more securely and am going to try it again.

125 shot on top of 500+rwhp should be a big kick in the ***!
