No purge? Sounds like fuel is hitting before the combo of n2o/fuel.

have you pulled the plugs yet to read them?

I would honestly invest in a AF guage so you know whether or not you are lean,

was it tuned for nitrous?

did they spray it when they tuned it or just tune it and say it was good? Honestly you need a wideband to know what your AFR is so as to correctly adjust it if need be.

The long lines wont matter, i would purge before you spray however.

Whether or not the plugs are new makes no diference if it melted an electrode ( been there done that )

Sounds like you're losing fuel pressure for a brief period causing the stumble.

i can tell you this, with that jetting you are way too fat. dave's plate is 65n 38f at 55psi for a 150 shot. that is also on the conservative side. im running a 65n 35f at 50psi with 23 degrees of total timing and am still a **** hair fat, but every car is different. you need to find out what your total timing is, get a wideband, and pull a plug. what plugs are you running?

a boost a pump with a racetronix harness will help, but without knowing what your timing is, reading the plugs, and knowing wha the af is your pissing in the wind. what plugs are in the car?
