Default Just Installed...Need help at DragStrip!!

I just intstalled a 75 shot wet nitrous system. It have a fuel pressure switch, an arming button, purge button, etc. I filled the bottle up Wednesday, purged maybe once for 10secs, then on friday went to the track. The way my system is set up, there is a micro switch on the floor so that when you are WOT, it injects... It will not inject until I hit that arming button. I went to the track for the first time and I am had horrible results. I should have easily been in the mid to low 13s, but couldn't break 14.3...
I had my VDC off and I hit the switch once I got into second gear.
I got 3 runs in and my bottle was practically empty, which is also not right because I should have been able to get at least 10 runs in on a practically FULL bottle.

My query is, what is the best time to arm the system on the track, before I start in first( heard bad things) or wait till 3rd???? Also, any ideas on why my bottle is emtpy so quick? I am currently testing the lines for any kinks, leaks, etc.

Any help would be appreciated, I will be going back to the installer sometime this week for him to check things out.

Can you tell us a little more? Were the results less than expected because the system didn't work properly, because of tire spin, etc.?

It is very possible that tire spin was a factor. I couldn't get good grip from the start at all the whole night. I didn't loose any grip when I was spraying though. I ran a 13.9 w/intake, exhaust, AFC awhile ago when my car was gutting for the stereo install. Now I have a whole bunch of weight on the car and I can run usually a 14.3 without nitrous. I was expected to shave at least a second with a 75 shot. W/O nitrous I can a 14.88 best and with a 14.33 best, WTF??? Is you have any specific questions, please ask! Thanks!

just so you know...purging takes up more nitrous then spraying it when you drive...your wasting all of it so you can hear that cool sound! lol...i had a purge kit on my acura and 10 seconds of that will waste a loooooooooooot of nitrous.

-PS make sure your bottle pressure is around 900-1000

I'll take that as a NO, since there has been no replies for 1 week.
