i was looking at my logs from the track and for some reason i am going a little lean when i hit the nitrous. i am right at 11-1 without it and more like 12-1 to 13-1 with the 35 shot, i figured that wasn't right so i went out and played a little. activated the nitours with the bottle closed and the a/f ratio didn't change at all. i pulled the hose off and hit it agian and no fuel came out. hmmmm.
good thing i was only going with a 35shot. now i need to fix it. i was all ready to race a guy on saturday for $100 and i had uped the boost 2psi and changed the nitrous jet to a 50shot(i wanted him bad) but the track closed when we were 4 cars from racing. i could have blown it prety easily without any fuel flowing.

Sounds like your fuel solenoid isn't working properly. Good catch with the wideband. Be thankful you run that thing pig rich most of the time. Thats probably why you said it feels like it flies with the added nitrous, it leans you up and cools you down. Fortunately, it didn't lean you too much.

I like to leave the bottle closed, pull the fuel line where the pill goes in, arm the system and watch the fuel squrit into a coke bottle. Then I know I'm gettin fuel when I hit it. With a 150 shot and no fuel it would be over in a matter of seconds. Better safe than sorry.
