Check Fuses, I am not sure, but sometimes they run one bank of injectors on one fuse and the other bank on an other...?

I think you just need to bump up the nitrous hit, that will fix your rearend also.

Update: Alright here is the solution (apparently) fouled spark plugs. . I guess maybe a couple weren't fouled on the drivers says and it was running on 2-3 cylinder when the drivers side headers were hot.

Checked spark, Good
Checked Fuel, Good

then the plugs were fouled. F'n piece of **** this is the third time this has happened.

Also the car is running very rich. Ellis? Is there anyway to correct this problem i won't be running a bottle through it anytime soon.
