Any idea what your A/F ratio is when spraying? I wonder if you're running too rich or something. How's the bottle pressure looking? I know that when you topped it off, it probably got cold as hell and that could cause some pressure issues.

I don't remember but do you have a purge solenoid? It may help get you off hte line if you can clear the lines.

Are you running on regularradials or cheaters, slicks? Your car should run alot better then that. My buddy went 12.15 through the cats with a crank pulley and flow masters and slicks WITH 3.08's. What all do you have done to your car?

What N20 system are you using? Sounds like it is the solenoids.

Did you run it N/A to compare how much the nitrous was helping you under those conditions? How did your mph improve?

I had the same problem once. I changed the solenoids and my car ran better on spray then it ever did. Are you spraying through the cats?
