Nitrous first experience
Well I finally filled my bottle on Friday and went down to the track on Sunday. Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to swap the stock spark plugs with the ngk brk7e's I bought, I did however use 94 octane gas.
So on my 99' SH I was running 15.4 - 15.5 1/4 miles without the juice (Heavy sound system!). With the juice I was able to run consistent 14.4 - 14.5s. I am using a ZEX kit and hit WOT only when I got traction in first. I kept spraying till the end (55 HP shot).
Funny thing occured on my last run (bottle pressure was way low), just before the finish I was going from 3rd to 4th, and all of a sudden the revs climbed like mad as I was shifting. I went into neutral right away. I doubt it was a mishift (into 2nd) but anything is possible.
Anyway, once I got off the track I noticed that the throttle response was normal but I had no Power Steering. When I opened the hood the PS belt was completely off and was a little torn up. Anyway, after a little fooling around under the hood the belt (albeit damaged) was back on. I slowly drove the car home.
So, my question is, does anyone have a possible explanation for what happened? I guess I don't want to believe that I mishifted since I would expect to have caused serious engine damage if I did. Also, is there anything I should check to ensure that I didn't damage any engine components?
