No Nitrous just a poor setup/tune on my part. Lesson learned.

Fueling and methanol was WAY off under pressure (189kpa). She bogged... putt,putt, pop! Both the tune and methanol system have been adjusted and it hasn't been an issue since. Ended up being a cheap lesson thanks to mchicia on this board selling me his intake.
