Unhappy Car dies after using N2O??!! Help?

I have been using N2O (NX 100 wet shot) for a couple weeks now on a daily basis. This has happened only twice.
First incident: I was in first gear and got on it then I let off and hit the brakes and came to a dead stop. The car just died.
Second incident: Today I was giving a friend a ride with the new setup and a several minutes after I was at a light about to turn left... as soon as I hit the gas lightly the car surged as if it was going to die but just pulled itself up.
My car is bone stock with exhaust and LT4 knock module. New opti, plugs and wires. Whats causing this? Anyone else have a similar experience?

check your plugs, a friend of mine had this happen today and we found it was bad plugs and 1 wire.oh and his plugs were a week old,so check yours even if you just put new ones in.

if your not already useing colder plugs that could be the reason right there. On LS1s yu have to use autolite 605s or ngk tr6s. Probabily the same with LT1s.

and if you need new plugs,from what ive heard here so far. you can use autolite 103's or 104's or ngk i think the part# is 4177 or tr6. im using the 103's and i belive they are two steps colder than stock.

I have TR6's. I guess I have no choice but to take them out and inspect
Thanks for the advice, friends.

I also noticed my car idles SLIGHTLY rough, is this from having colder plugs?
