Question problems

I have a 350 with the Edlebrock Performer RPM 100 - 250 kit (100 shot installed) and a 1/2 fuel system (line, pump, regulator, filter) and when I hit the button I only get fuel and no nitrous. When I test the kit with the car off or at idle i get nitrous to fog up out of the carb but when I race under full load I don't. We checked the fuel pressure and it is about 8 psi when we hit the button and can't figure out why it won't work. If anyone can give me some things to look for that would be great.

Thanks, Aaron

1.) Check to see if the cylinoid is firing, you can do this just by placeing your hand on top of it and feel for a clicking.

2.) Check your wiring make sure all the grounds are good and what not(use a voltmeter if you have to.)

3.) Check for any kinks in the line.

4.) Make sure your bottle is full

Re: problems

Just a thought...If your using a fuel pressure safety switch(which you should be)...check the setting to make sure that when your driving under acceleration(when you describe your nitrous solenoid isn't working), that your fuel pressure isn't dipping just slightly below where you have your fuel pressure safety switch set, causing the nitrous solenoid not to function...

That is good advise if you aren't setting the fuel pressure flowing then it could be droping when you activate the kit. Also what fuel pump are you using. Try setting the fuel pressure to around 6psi flowing
