cold start? what do you mean by "longer"? how long is sitting for a while?

also can we get pictures of your nitrous set up? mountings etc. I know there wont be much to see but I am looking at that path after my cat-back.

ya I'll put some pics up later its usly a couple hours but if I let the system prime it starts fine I think its cus of the extra line comin off the fuel rail now so after awhile the pressure bleeds off but besides that it runs awsome with the 75 shot in I was door too door with a 6 liter gto from a 60 roll

As soon as the key is in the ON position you're fuel pump is running.
I'd start troubleshooting elsewhere (Cold weather, weak battery, fouled plugs etc).

This is the kinda stuff I like to hear. I can't wait to start spraying next year.

Word. Or if its cranking a while, there could be a loss of compression due to detonation. I hope you ran a step colder plugs. You should pull a degree of timing too or run meth.

its not fouled plugs or detenaton it was doin it before i sprayed its bc of the extra line that comes off the fuel rail bc there is no shreader valve core in it any more so fuel gets to the fuel solinoid so when the fuel that normally sits in the rail when u shut the car off it bleeds into that extra 1 ft of line that goes to the fuel solinoiod so hense why i need to let the system prime for a couple seconds when i start it so fuel pressure can build in the rail again everything else tho is perfect i love the set up

if u look at my pics u can kinda see the line that comes off the rail and how it dips down after the rail

Bullshit on the GTO, but otherwise..

Check your fitting on the fuel rail, if its loosing pressure there is a leak somewhere. If its not there, check the inlet side of the fuel solenoid. Whatever it is, you have a leak, fix it. Don't leave the fuel leak under the hood, thats just never a good idea. I've done nitrous on a bunch of these cars, never had that issue as long as everything seals up.

Well said. I totally forgot about mentioning something as simple as this.

nice man, you should hide the lines a bit more IMO but get some videos or slips up.
