NOS fuel addiditive
 
Is this stuff just for EFI cars or what? I put some in my car and it seems to be running like @ss. Sometimes it's like it's about to just die at stop signs, when idling, etc. The only other problems I know of are (what I believe to be) a bad valve cover gasket (it smokes real bad from under the hood and one of the header primaries is black next to the head) and a bad PCV valve. But the car ran so-so until the NOS stuff. I used the off-road stuff with some 91 octane gas. WTF is going on here?

That stuff is octane booster. It raises the effective octane rating of your gasoline. The higher the octane, the harder it is to burn. Sounds like your car may have a hard time igniting the mixture. Try "watering it down" with lower octane gas, and see if that helps. You may want to check your spark plugs while you're at it.
