when i spray my car i get a strong gas smell, i can't see any leaks anywhere where gas is leaking from, i have the correct size nozzles for my shot(125), it's a nitrous works plate kit if that matters, jets are 52 on the nitrous side, 25 on the fuel side. i have a wideband but the sensor's broken right now so i don't know what the afr's are when i spray. before it was broken it would read around 12.0:1, but i don't remember smelling gas then. any ideas? what does everyone put on their threads to get them to seal?

make sure there is not a hole in the line after the solenoid. you wont see gas after solenoid until its open and spraying. make sure lines are right also
 
it's a brand new line so i can't see there being a hole in it. can i just activate the fuel solenoid and look for fuel leaking somewhere? or will that hurt it?

ya you can rev it up a lil and click the button and make sure the bottle is off so no nitrous goes in. but a lil too much fuel will just stall the motor. it wont hurt anything. look for fuel leaking out while you click the button and go from there
 
well i got the issue fixed, the line wasn't the correct one so it wasn't sealing good enough on the jet, replaced the line with the style that was on it originally and all is good. however, not when i spray it feels great until about 5k then starts breaking up. think my ignition just can't handle it? it's all stock except for wires/coil. should i invest in a box?

put new plugs in it, check bottle pressure, timing, alot of things.
 
bottle pressure was between 900-1000. timing set at base 10*. i'll try the plugs, what should i gap them at? i've gotten so many different answers about that i have no idea what's right.
 
i wouldnt be spraying ti without a msd or something . how much are u hittting it with ?
make a full pass with the spray shut the car down ( turn it off) and pull a plug
 
i'm spraying 125. i tried closing the plugs and it helped a lot. still feels like it's missing a little after 5600ish. but feels good until then. i'm gonna pull the plugs and prolly change them out, and try and pull a little more timing to start off with. i already pulled 4 degrees but will pull more.
