I am looking to see what fuel jet I should run with a 70 nitrous jet. The jetting supplied by nos is too rich. Any suggestions?

Sorry, I don't know why it came out three times.
Configuring jet sizes is dependant on pressures. Assuming 900 psig nitrous and 50 psig fuel, a 37 fuel jet teamed with a 70 nitrous jet will yield ~12.7 to 1 air/fuel ratio.
But let's say that your fuel pump(s) cannot sustain 50 psig with a 37 fuel jet. Let's say it drops to 44 psig. In that case, the fuel jet would have to be increased to a 39.
As you can see, calculating fuel jets is an iterative process.

What fuel pressure are you running, measured with the vacuum hose off the regulator?
What is the pressure of the nitrous?
You may just need a bottle heater to get the nitrous pressure up!?

My bottle is oriented in the correct position and in the spare tire well. I am running about 51 psi at WOT. I have two fuel pumps and my nitrous pressure gauge usually says 850-900 psi. If not, I heat the bottle until it is there.
Willie, how did you calculate that?
I'll second that, how do you calculate that?
I've been trying to figure that out for a few days now for my crossfire car (it uses 13-15psi fuel pressure, so no one seams to know the right jets)

I have an Excel spreadsheet with a built-in formula that calculates fuel jet size given nitrous pressure, fuel pressure and nitrous jet size. If you want a copy, e-mail me.
