Miss after nitrous use

Car devloped a miss, after nitrous use, ... well i decided to spray the car ince last night everything seemed to go smooth, and after the run my car was missing and lost power... I could still drive it I dont hear any knocking and its not smoking, and if i get on the car the miss smooths out a lil , Could i have burned whole in my piston, or burn a valve?

Re: Miss after nitrous use

Did you run colder rated spark plugs gapped correctly? I'd check them to see if they fouled out

I'd check the plugs first to make sure they still have the ground straps.... first thing to go when you run lean, at least if you are using the stock plugs with the big heavy electrode.

Re: Miss after nitrous use

Checking plugs should be a regular part of running nitrous. They will be the first thing to shows signs of impending (or current) problems with the tune. Hard to say if that's what it is without actually looking at them. You appear to have the right plugs. How much are you spraying?
