Figured out what was causing my problems on nitrous
Just wanted to let everyone know I got my stuttering/hesistation problem during non-nitrous use figured out. I had originally though maybe the colder TR6 spark plugs were to blame....
Turns out i was running on 7 cylinders! I re-gapped all the plugs and discovered the forward most plug electrode on the drivers side was all black and fuel coated. I replaced it, and put the wire back on it, making sure I heard the boot 'click' snap into place.
Car runs like a bat out of heck now. Much better. Nitrous blasts, even below 700psi are crazy. Its fun.

Now the question is what caused it to foul. Could be a distribution problem while using the nos. I would make a run with the nos cut it off and read the plugs.
