umm... o2 sensors don't detect fuel.. they detect oxygen... I'm not sure if
Nitrous Oxide will trip an o2 sensor like oxygen will... but if your fuel
enrichment is too far off, the computer won't be able to get the o2 reading
where it wants it to be, and it will trip a light... this can be either
way... too rich (just trips the light, and condition should clear when
nitrous is off), or too lean (then you'll probably have other problems..
burned valves, burned pistions, detonation, etc).. so start obviously
rich... and if it trips a light, go with 1 smaller fuel jet....

Or maybe rig something that pins the output from the o2 sensor to a happy
point (like .7 volts) while the nitrous is armed?
