Default 1st nitrous test runs...

well its all hooked up and good to go. ran it a few times yesterday, and the bottle was very low, so it only kicked in enough for me to tell that it was in fact working. i went out today, got the bottle filled, and did a few more runs.... its working, but i honestly expected a much bigger kick in the *** then im getting, you can tell its working, it does pull a little harder... but just not what i expected. right now its set up for a 75 shot...

what sucks ***** is, i dont know wut the bottle pressure is, because the fitting for my guage is on back order from summit, should be here soon tho.... but i assumed a full bottle, its press would be good and fine.

the install is fine...

power-on/off-microswitch-relay-msd digital window switch-ground
power-relay-siloids-ground

fuel from schrader valve, tank mounted in the back... its spraying it fine, i checked before i even drove the car(took intake tube off)...

i might be expecting more from it... it is pulling hard, but i was expecting it to pull harder. 1st gear, 75 shot, traction wasnt even thought of as an issue(then again i have m/t drs on, but still)

Without a gauge you can't be rerally sure what you're getting unless you're experienced enough to make a guestimate based on amount in the bottle, temp, etc. For example, if the bottle is half full and ice cold, then it's going to have a much lower pressure than if it were half full and warm. And the pressure may be so low that you you're running too rich. Also, a purge solenoid will help it hit harder when you're ready for it by clearing the lines.
