Default Fuel Pressure

I need to get a little more fuel going to my car for this 50 shot. What would be the best way other than upgrading injectors. Can i up the fuelpressure a little more than what it is. I think its running at 49 or 50 psi now. I tried upping the fuel pill from .22 to .28 but that didnt work either. From a low roll,2nd,3rd it cuts out at like 5,000 rpm. From a higher roll like 60(4th gear), not much of a hesitation and moves very well. I guess plugs would be a wise investment aswell. Anybody got any tips. Kinda a newb when it comes to nitrous on cars

are you getting any hesitation or studdering at high rpms? what kind of ignition work do you have? also what gap did you do the plugs at? also how does the car work without nitrous?

Definately buy a step colder or a couple steps colder than stock plugs. Also, I was under the impression the smaller sized fuel pills meant higher pressure.

vince you are correct. james said try the the bigger fuel pill to see if that helped. Hesitation is at a higher rpm. As for work without nitrous? Basic bolt-ons and a stock ignition

Definetly better plugs (NGK) Probably need the timing retard thing. I do believe if you up the fuel pressure they should be capable of 50 shot.

NGK TR6 @ .034-.038

does the car cut out the same way off the bottle up top?

if the car cuts out the same way up top off the bottle and at lower rpm's then you may have a problem with the module attached to your coil... i forgot what it is called but if it is fouled it can cause the car to screw up at high and low rpm ranges. If i were you i would get an msd blaster coil, replace this chip, and maybe even get one of those spark enhancer things... this may or may not be the problem but upgrading ignition parts like that is deffinately a good thing to do with nitrous.

if its only on the bottle, and you have an adjustable fuel pressure regulator set up CORRECTLY and your stock injectors are flowing CORRECTLY, and you have a rich fuel jet in then i dont think its fuel.. if i were you i would do all that ignition stuff i said because i think your spark isnt strong enough to ignite all the extra fuel you have flowing in with the n2o.. this was my problem at first
