I have yet to try the spray out. I have a 150 shot installed and it will activate once I hit WOT. My question is that when I am at the track making a pass and I shift, I let off the gas for a split second as I engage the clutch. Can I keep getting on it like this for 4 shifts down the track? On , off , on , off.........?

I tried to let of the nitrous between shifts about 15 years ago never could get it to work. It made the car very radical. I always just use a push button and hold the pedal to the floor. I haven't used nitrous with My current motor and trans but when or if I can get My car to hook good on the motor I'll give it a shot and see what happens.

Sounds like you'd need some sort of RPM window for it to stay constant. I could see the car being erratic when you get off/on the gas.

i've made about 200 passes with a stick getting in and out of the nitrous. never had a problem. with my current setup i keep my foot on the floor and and stab the clutch quick, with the nitrous on the entire time. i go through five gears this way and have made about 75 passes without any problems.

What happens when you are bouncing off the rev limiter and spraying?

you set the rev limiter up higher than normal and better not miss a gear i had a 175 on my car with a tremec 3550 transmission my shiftpoint was 6400 my rev limiter was at 7200 when i shifted at 6400 i had it in the other gear before it got to 6800 car always had a wicked sound evertime it caught a gear lol

my rev limiter is much higher than my shift point. i log each run and haven't ever come near it. there's nothing wrong with lifting for the shifts.

just lift and shift last time I did it I had it on a manual switch but Wot is much better FYI rev limiter and bottle equals bad things..... remember nitrous and fuel are liquids and you can't compress it.....
