While checking my plugs today which had peppering on it i looked at my intake to check the nitrous nozzle...The bolt on the inside of the intake to hold the nozzle in came loose and im guessing it got sucked into my engine...So i took the intake off to see if it fell down into my filter, nope wasnt there....If anybody has a NX kit they will know how big the bolt is.....My engine still cranks and runs fine...Just the throttle response isnt so great anymore....I guess what im asking is are the ports on the intake mani to small for the bolt to go through and its lodged in there somehow....Please let me know..im having someone take the IM off to check or even maybe the head......

man, that bolt didnt go in your engine, if it did, IT WOULD NOT RUN ANYMORE, and it has nothing to do with your poor throttle response, its pure coincidence
Aiite...If its not in the engine where could it have gone...There was only two ways it could have gone....Into the IM or back down to the cone filter...Wasnt in the filter...So beats the shit out of me...If it was lodged it would still run...Just poor performance...

Thats the thing...The engine starts up and runs fine....Just throttle response is off a little....Im thinking it could be lodged inside the head b4 the valves...:
