RE: nitrous
Ur running a 125 shot untuned? If so thats a bad mix get that thing tuned before u spay ur internals all over the ground. Ive heard of people saying a 150 is safe on a good tune but me personaly id rather just stick with the 125 and tune. Also heard the power difference isnt much from 125-150 but these are all just things i have read on here. I have not had any experience with the 150 shot.

150 shot, you will see your internals on the floor. First thing to go is your rods. 125 untuned is ok for some cars, however 150 TUNED is MAX!! I personally would not risk such an attempt, unless you want to blow your engine to buy a new one then be my guest.

RE: nitrous
the only reason u see it is because its so much colder. nitrous comes out the whole time. it takes like a second to clear the line, thats all u should need. the nitrous will super cool once it passes the jets, so it seems senseless to get the nitrous cold first. if u think about it the pressure drop across a nitrous jet is huge and thats what causes the massive drop in temp. purge for 6 seconds seems really long
im no expert- just speaking from a technicans standpoint, thats how i feel.

RE: nitrous
The reason that you do not see nitrous for the first few seconds is because there is air in your lines. That is what makes you car bog when you run the car w/o purging it. So technically you do not have to, but to get teh best performance, you must bleed the lines which will make u see the nitrous. I dont know y it takes you 6 seconds when it should only take like 1 to 2 seconds for nitrous to come out.

just reread it and tell me it makes any sense whatsoever...... thats like saying you can drink 12 beers and are fine, but 13 you'll be too drunk to drive
c'mon now
anyways... first off, 500 psi is just about empty, even cold... you should have 600 on a full bottle. weight it and see for sure. and start using a heater. a cold bottle will use more nitrous for less power
6 seconds is way long for a purge... it's not air in the line... it's gaseous nitrous. nitrous boils when it warms up to -500 and the only way to keep it in liquid is to have it under pressure.
so yes... when it starts to spray the liquid... the liquid will boil when it reaches ambient air, and it will be frosty and cloud up, soi think you have a pinched line or an empty bottle or some kinda something going on
air in the bottle can be a good thing... adds pressure as long as you have a full fill and 10 lbs of nitrous.
