Purge valve serves two purposes... to get a fresh shot close to the point of injection and it can be used to bleed off excess PSI if it gets too high.
If you purge before you spray, it should hit harder.

It hits harder and quicker. If I don't purge the line I can almost use all of first gear before the Nitrous "hits". Usually can take around 2-3 seconds for an unpurged line to "hit" versus .5 second.
It can also be used to regulate Nitrous bottle pressure. You can purge excess bottle pressure until the pressure is in the safe/950-1100 psi good zone.
