LEAN SPIKE:

On the wet kit, the nitrous is under 1000+psi, while the fuel is only at 60 psi max. When you first hit it, the nitrous will fill the lines faster, and you'll be lean until the fuel catches up.

Sorry about the motor.

yes, that part i understand. the lean spike i see lasts for about 1 sec. the dyno operator said it was much longer than he usualy saw. seems to long to me and i always see full 8deg of knock the entire time it is lean, then it starts to decline the rest of the run.

Sorry about the motor man. Did your last truck get a lean spike at all?

Was it Colonel that said if you lock the converter after the 1-2 shift that your times would get worse?

Damn... sorry to hear it. You need to change your user title to exploding engine director.

LOL @ Fast4.8

Parish ... do you have to rely on this truck as your daily driver? Just curious ... I know I couldn't live without my truck for long as it's the only thing in my driveway!
