Default Do I need a purge?

My purge decided to break today and get stuck open and bled half of my 15 pound bottle before I realized. I'm going to take it off, I should be fine without one? It would just make me run a little rich off the line right?

You should use one just to make sure your lines are clear and get performance when you hit it.. But you dount need one but the porformence will take a lil longer.

I really don't need that hard of hit off the line, I have a 4.03 first gear and 4.10's out back so it gets going pretty easily. It will only be this weekend, I just want to make sure it won't hurt anything.

I have an extra nitrous solinoid. I'm just pissed my 1 week old nx purge went bad.

I have a 83 thunderbird turbo coupe t5. I think second is around 2.80. I'm shifting into 3rd right around 80ft off the line and shifting into 4th 200ft before the 1/8th. I really need the nitrous for 4th gear.
