I went and got my car tuned on the dynojet and it ran just fine on the dyno, and then the dude flashed the chip (delta flip-chip) and I was on my way. I turned it to the nitrous tune and got to 3500 rpm in 3rd gear and hit the nitrous. I felt a good sized surge in power and then at about 4500 rpm the car made a popping sound and died. I immediatly killed the nitrous and let the car coast in gear and gave it gas to see it it would drive. No luck. It was like it had no spark and I could smell fuel. I turned the key off and then on and it ran ok while still in the nitrous tune mode. I have the Good noszle kit with a purge, fpss, heater, WOT switch and window switch. I narrow band afr guage shows no activity in the right front o2. I took it to the shop and he said I nuked an o2 sensor. Is this possible? He hooked up the scanner and it just cycled the heater on and off about once a second and never stopped. It showed no activity also. The car drives like crap now even after he removed the chip. He checked it all out and said he may not have had the chip inserted all the way. It is tuned to run about an 11.8 AFR on the gas. It ran fine on the dyno. I will post the graph later. He drove it and it seemed to run fine for him. He told me to replace the o2 (at my cost) and it would be ok until then. I ran it again on the road on the way home and it did the same thing. Then the LED on the switch flashed from red to green and keeps doing that. Did I mess up? Did he? What should I do? I think it may be a problem with the chip itself. If it is will Diablo or the tuner get me a new o2? Thank you and I tried to be as detailed as I could.

Ok I'm half asleep, but did you mean one of your front o2's wasn't reading and you hit the happy stuff anyways? You do know the front o2's are what the computer uses to get the a/f right? Put a new o2 in there and drive it WITHOUT the nitrous see if it still runs fine. After about 100 miles or so then try the n2o again.
BTW nice #'s.
