    If you have correctly setup window switch, you shouldn't have a problem. Also, avoid overly rich mixtures - tune by plugs - you can use the wideband as a guide, but it is not the end-all when on the jug...

    Yes, shut the engine down at WOT and inspect the plugs for fuel ring/timing mark. Pull the car back to the pits or swap some plugs on the return road - don't drive back to the pits as that will ruin the readings... It is the only way to accurately tune nitrous cars.
