Okay, but... why would I run lean? If the nitrous oxide and the supplemental
fuel supplied by the foggers are properly matched, then there should be a
safe combustion event. Why wouldn't there be? The EFI is unable to
compensate (in open loop) for a lean (or rich) condition when on the bottle,
anyway. So, if the engine were to run lean during a traction control-imposed
fuel cut, it would have been doing all along. Keep in mind that the fuel cut
occurs at the fuel injectors -*not* the fuel rail. In other words the fuel
foggers would still be spraying away very happily.

Well, this is how it all computes in my head. What am I missing here? What
am I forgetting? My spidey senses are tingling...
