some would say ya so ur nitrous isnt cutting on and off and on again but ive heard its harder on the tranny but im no expert. Several folks are doin it w/ no probs
and then some folks ive heard say its not a good cuz it might damge the motor with the inital hits through the run but i dunno
im sure a nitrous expert will post in here and give you a more in-depth answer cuz i still dunno if im gonna do it or not since im relatively new to nitrous

If the 4l60 is built to handle it, go for it. If not, it's somewhat of a gamble.

I had no problem , I never saw it as a problem . Besides whats the sense of spraying to get the best time if your gonna let off at every shift , you will also not be consistant ...

How would you go about shutting it off at the shift pts? Have a window switch slightly below your shift pt? Manually cutting it off would be very inconsistant.

I would just add in a ton of torque management(stock tm or even more) for nitrous runs to help with power output during shifts while spraying.

I wouldn't. I sprayed a 150 shot using a Window Switch for two years with no issues. Got greedy and started spraying through the shifts. Lost the tranny within a month.
