just so you are not running around in circles, have your codes pulled....it could save you some stress if the computer has any.

Did you read your plugs at all? Did you tune for the spray?

I can vouch for him and say NO! He probably just installed the NOS and got on it.

Hey, I'll buy that from you Blondie if you want to get rid of it.

When I'm gonna be spraying a 125 shot, I make sure that:

My timing is set back to 10* (you may actually need LESS timing, Zex recommends 6*, my car runs well with 10)

My fuel pressure is bumped 2 PSI for extra safety

My spark plugs, one heat range colder than stock, are gapped at .035

For example, if your running 16* of timing and stock heat range plugs with 39 PSI of fuel pressure with stock fuel system, you just may run into some detonation.

With an aftermarket fuel pressure regulator...which is a good idea to have if your running a 100 shot or bigger, in my opinion. A 190lph or better fuel pump helps too.

You SHOULD be okay as it is- but, check your plugs to see what they look like. Compare them to the chart on the back page of your Hayne's manual and make sure you aren't going lean.
