Well it was in the 10s...but it normally is in the 10.5s at WOT...
 
Your nitrous nozzles/jetting souds fine...your bottle pressure is at 600 then there is your probem. Your jetting in nitrous has a big effect on bottle pressure. the lower the pressure the richer you will run. You need to run bottle pressure between 950 and 1050, so get a heater; sounds like your running a fat pig.

(PM me if ya need one...)

I have a heater....The problem is that I can't run it without the motor running and I can't get a decent pass with the motor too hot...

I will look at it when I get off work...
 
How hot is your truck getting? The outside temps are pretty cool these days. If you're really that worried about it getting hot, go get a cheap leaf blower at lowes/home depot and lay it under the hood to cool it off (obviously take off the extension). We use one to cool the tranny on the race cars when we get in hot lap type situations. Your bottle warmer shouldn't have to run that long to get the pressure up. I don't understand why your truck has to be running to run it.

205-210 F if I let it Idle...

What kind of battery do you use? I have a metal craddle instead of a blanket...So it only covers half of the bottle...

:confused: :confused: :dontknow:

you should be able to get the bottle to the correct temp with 12v. So if im understanding correctly, cant you turn your key to ign. and get the bottle warmed up without turning the truck on?!? :confused:

If not, wife the heater to 12v constant and to a switch. Ive ran nitrous is many vehicles and thats how I had mine setup. 2 switches and 1 button.... Main, heater, and purge.

Your heater should have an auto shut-off when it reaches the correct pressure/temp depending on the heater.

I guess my point is that it drains my battery too fast...To the point that the motor won't turn...
 
You have a wiring issue. There is no way that heater drains the battery enough to kill it. Unless you just have a crap battery.

agreed.....my bottle heater switch is wired into the lower accessory outlet power source. I have to turn my key backwards for the switch to have power but I can leave it on for 45 minutes w/out the truck running and it still starts. maybe check your wiring or get a new battery:dontknow:
 
Sadly, none of this has answered why he lost .3 and 5mph
