well just finished plugs that was the problem but now it dogs of the line a little bit but once you get in the rpms it goes good. i was not super impressed with my shot but my bottle was cool and i dont have a bottle pressure gauge or a bottle heater they are on the list to get. thanks for all the help.

Yeah...plugs will do it. I'm glad it was such a simple fix, that's always a relief.

Check your PMs

I would definitely get a gauge for starters and a bottle heater if needed, too low of pressure will also negatively impact the performance of your nitrous setup.

From: Hell was full so they sent me to NJ
The next question is..... did the plug gap open up and cause it to run poorly on nitrous...... or did a bad nitrous/fuel mix burn the plugs, producing the 0.080" gap?

That just means put in the 100 shot
Lightnings can be VERY fast...so dont feel bad about it.

You're going to max out the zex kit pretty quickly....you're going to want more power, trust me It's addicting.

What other mods do you have done to your car? As I tell others, I wouldn't judge the performance of your car by matching it up to another car in a street race. Afterall, despite it being a truck, it has a blower with a smaller pulley and some tuning. There may even be other things done to it as well and I'm sure it is capable of being in the 12s.

I would definitely put some money into the exhaust, that is definitely going to choke your motor, especially when spraying.

They're alright, not as nice as a set of Kooks, but they are a budget long tube. The clearance is very good, spark plug access is exceptional, and the power gains were quite noticable.

If I were to do it over again, I would have went with the Kooks. The performance difference between the Kooks and Pacesetters is negligible, but the quality of the Kooks is top notch. However, they are quite a bit more expensive and at the time I was trying to stay within the confines of a budget.

The Kooks are around 800-1000 dollars for just the headers.
