Re: what is correct a/f number when nitrous hit off brake?

When stepping up from a good known tune up you want to use the same n/f ratios as a starting point, not the same jet sizes. For example, say you were at 60n/55f at 5 psi, that would be a 6.36 N/F Ratio (950 psi bottle). If you added 8 jet sizes on both and kept the same pressures, it would go to 6.2...
