New NX Kit, Track Results Not So Good, What's Up?

Well, I have the NX System on the car now. I have to say the feel of the pull is/was great. I have a delay timmer (Digiset From NX) on the car and on the first run set the delay for 3 seconds after launch. I thought it felt good, pinned me into the seat when it kicked in. Below is a list of my times, NOT HAPPY AT ALL.

First and best run of the night Nitrous Delay At 3 Seconds.
1.895 60' 5.124 330'
7.789 1/8 ET
92.22 1/8 MPH
12.05 1/4 ET
115.62 1/4 MPH

Second Run Delay Nitrous Delay At 1.5 Seconds:

1.856 60'
5.10 330'
7.80 1/8 ET
12.11 1/4 ET
114.56 1/4 MPH

These were the two best runs out of 4 I got in. I tell you I am so
confused on this one. Last year I ran a best of 12.2. with no Nitrous. I had the Head & Cam and a computer program (Redline was 6600rpm). Now with this year I get the above times. I need to see what size nozzle I have on the NX System. I thought it was a 100Hp Shot. Here is a question I would like someone to answer. When I had the new
Nitrous system installed I had the computer reprogrammed. The cam I have in the car has a redline of 6600 (MTI T1 Hammer Cam). My redline
on the car is now set at 6000 rpms(when reprogrammed went from 6600 to 6000rpms because of adding the nitrous system). I have heard it's not
safe to run the nitrous at the 6600 redline my car used to have set. So, How much time am I losing on the car by having the 600 rpms pulled out per gear. Considering I use all of 1 & 2 gear then go to about 5000rpms in 3rd. I would figure I am losing a lot of time because of this redline adjustment on the car? Can anyone give me an accurate guess on how much slower the car is because of this extra 600rpms that have been
pulled out? Also, would it be safe to put the 6600 redline back with a 100 shot of nitrous?

Thanks,

Thats cool, not bad times my friend. Id say definetely raise the rev limiter up to the 6600 again, you dont have to shift at it, but at least you wont accidentally hit the limited. its extremely bad to hit the limiter on juice. Other than that, did you have the nitrous tuned on the dyno with the wide band O2 sensors in? That may be part of the cause, maybe your running rich? Thats prob not it though. your trap speed is pretty high. I spray 125 on the mods below(Havent installed the cam, headers, etc) and im trapping 121. Are you having traction problems? And what kind of trans do youhave?

i think the problem is that your cam isn't makeing as much power under 6000 so your spraying into less hp therefore not getting the results you want.
