Could it be THIS simple?

It's recommended that you jet up when you use nitrous as a precaution against a lean fuel/nitrous mixture. It's better to be slightly richer, rather than lean when running nitrous. A lean fuel/nitrous ratio is what melts pistons and all that other good stuff you don't want to happen.

I've learned 2 things about Nitrous.

#1. Don't GIVE any advice.
#2. Don't TAKE any.

Think about that for a few, you'll "get it"...........

OK, now I'm gonna break Rule #1. Leave the carb alone if you're running a plate system.

How are you supposed to regulate fuel/nitrous ratio? I don't want melted pistons or spark plug electrodes.

Most companies have it set that the recomended jetting is a bit rich.

Ya have to start thinking of carb and N2O as two different systems, cuz THEY ARE!

If the car is runnining "OK" leave the damn carb alone. Change spark plugs, adjust base timing, and let her rip. N2O plate will take care of itself.

Please refer to the first 2 nitrous rules of this thread.

OK, now that I don't have so much beer in me

, I can clarify that last statement! LOL

All I meant was the carb should be tuned seperate from the nitrous system. Get the carb setup right first, then hit the spray. If you want to run the carb a little fat, that's fine. A little insurance never hurts. But remember one of my rules: "Fat is safe, but Lean is Fast!" (Maybe I should start righting these down? LOL)

Then all you have to do is fire up the nitrous plate, and if the thing gets PIG fat, lean up the plate a little, but leave the carb alone. Same story for the lean direction. If you have problems on the spray, tune the plate, not the carb.

Dammit! I broke rule #1 again, didn't I? LMAO

This was kind of one of our rules from last night, but I won’t elaborate right now.
