Default engine bogs when i hit nitrous??

why does the engine bog down when i hit the nitrous??? I have a stock 86 with the nitrous works kit with 125 shot... It didn't act like that when i first installed it and only hit it twice to make sure it was working and now, nothing???

I would double check the pressure in the tank and verify that the nitrous solenoid is firing.

Are you running any kind of timing retard with the system. More details on a system is always better.

It sounds like you are becomming overly rich, but it could be a few other things as well.

weigh the bottle, it should be more than 14lbs empty and 24lbs full.

sometimes leaks will only appear at higher bottle/line pressure.

if the bottle is empty it could have popped the disc if you got it hot enough
