Default BIG PROBLEM (nitrous involved)

As the title states i was driving home just now and i sprayed the car in 2nd gear at 3700 to the end of 4th gear, around 5000 rpm in 4th gear i noticed the car wasnt really pulling any longer so i pulled over. the idle of the car now has a ticking noise which isnt that loud and when i get gooing from a dead stop or even when accelerating the car shutters like something is holding it back? ANY ideas and costs of the repair? it was only a 90 dry shot and my car is a 2000 gt with intake and exaust and it wasnt the first time spraying it

Sounds to me like you may have broke a rod.

possibly but there would likely be smoke pouring from his exhaust, I recommend getting it looked at as it could be a serious problem, or it could be somethin like a burnt plug, I would take it to a TRUSTED shop.

Not quite true. I had an 84 Z28. Got on it hard one day all of a sudden I felt a loss in power. Didn't think anything of it and drove the car for the next 3 months. I had no knocking at all. Finally went and had my 350 installed and pulled the 305 out and opened her up and saw that I did indeed have a broke rod. Broke right around the crank, hence the reason for no knock.

Check the plugs, you may have burned one.

The rod is not broke, you would know immediately. Sounds like a burnt plug

I thought you were supposed to only spray at WOT... but sounds scary... i was sprayin my nitrous one time and all i heard was poof and saw smoke... i though i was doomed but it turns out it was nothing nitrous related, just one of my oil lines came undone, but i would definatly go get that checked out.

I have a slight clicking sound after I installed my zex wet kit. It is not pinging or knocking, but just a clicking sound while in idle. Once I start moving it is gone. Sometimes all I have to do is just push the clutch in and it goes away. I have talked to some other people that noticed the same thing after installing the zex kit. Don't know what it is but I was told not to worry about it.

Also, not to make you out to be an idiot, but are you sure your bottle isn't empty. If you run out of nitrou you will lose your giddy-up. Also, if the bottle was full, what was the bottle pressure. If it is really low then you will not accelerate very quickly either.
