Default TH400 guys - How do you spray out of the hole?

Do you have a relay hooked up to the transbrake? Or foot brake it on spray out of the hole?

Have a relay that only activates when the transbrake is not held. Put a WOT switch into the system. You can't footbrake to WOT and therefore you can use that too.

I use Harlan's 2-step, presently set-up to de-activates the nitrous system while engaged. Was running a 4800 stall (now 4200). Set 2-step at 4500. Combined it with the T-brake. When T-brake is held in the 2-step is engaged (deactivating the nitrous system). When T-brake is released the 2-step and the nitrous system are set. Right now I am running a 200 shot out of hole. Best 60' is 1.40 (so far).

I like the relay idea
But what about getting the car to hook with 650rhwp+ on ET streets. I am sure the front skinnes would come off the ground for sure (even without spraying). But for the sake of better times would I be better off footbraking if I am going to spray out of the hole.

With a TH400, is a window switch still necessary?

The window switch is never "necessary" but is always a good idea for safety.

MechMan - if you get 1.46 60' by footbraking, just think what it would be by shooting 150 at say 4000rmp launch??

schnitz progressive controller, bringing the nos in on WOT, above 3500 rpm, over one to two seconds after releasing the transbrake button.

is that the same thing as the NX progressive controller

also, is tracking/hooking a problem when throwing down this much at once at launch
