... If I am OVERCHARGING my battery, could this be causing my electrical troubles?
Found a burnt (I think) 15A fuse on my hot lead to the N2O relay box.

Are you using a volt blaster?

Unless your alternator is putting out more than 16-17 volts, I don't believe this would be causing your problem. It is possible, since all electronic items are designed for a given range of power.
The only way your going to blow that fuse is either a short circuit to ground or you have a bad relay that is pulling more that 15 amps.

i would have to agree with grover, check grounds. knowing you i am sure you are quite meticulous so if it isn't a ground then it just may be the relay.
g'luck!

Uhhhhmmmm... dumb fluck me just figured sumpin' out... EFI N2O relay requires a 25A fuse. That would be why the 15A fuse left this world and went to fuse heaven. I seen that part in the directions but didn't understand it the way it was presented... NOW I do!!! Wondered why they included a 25A fuse??!! http://web.camaross.com/bb/confused.gif
Still bought a battery/alternator voltmeter and will verify B/A voltage.
By the way... I have decided NOT to run an
MSD 6A box at this time. For the LOW doses of N2O I plan to run, I don't need to take out any timing. I'll just send my old box back to MSD for a freshening (cheap azz).
