Hey buddy, you need to do a search on this, it is one of the most common failures on SC's, if not THE most. O.L.T. offers OEM replacement lighting for them or some pretty trick colors, check him out.

I am pretty sure i have seen this before,

Is your car unloading in 3rd?
I think you have a nasty hole in your fuel map
you could always try to lengthen the injector pulse and tune the nos timing.
Then you will most likely run 9's according to my buddy Vince

I heard that you have to bang on it three times, yell into each exhaust pipe for at least a minute, disconnect you battery cables and clip them to your tongue, then use the search button.

You almost had me? You never had me - you never had your car... Granny shiftin' not double clutchin' like you should. You're lucky that hundred shot of NOS didn't blow the welds on the intake! You almost had me?

you guys realize there is a permanent sticky at the top of this forum with all the information you would ever need in there, even if you somehow cannot work the search button.
