Default 6 speed and N20 questions.

Stick shifters with nitrous, how do you have your activation set up? Are you using WOT switches, window switches, a switch on the clutch, the old button in the hand or on the shifter? How are you guys most comfortable spraying and shifting, or what is the best way you have found?

Just a WOT switch... Activate, dump the clutch and feather for traction, then mash it for the extra ponies... works ok as long as you can hook

My two step prevents nitrous engagement while at the starting line. I have a window switch and a wot swith. As soon as I release the clutch at the line it sprays because my foot is already on the floor.

Check out the HSW MicroEdge controller. Works great for WOT activation, window switches and lots of other things...

I have mine to come on when it sees just under full TPS voltage (your case, use a microswitch on the TB) and the windows are set at 3500 and 6450. If you can, its best to set up the system where its one less thing you have to worry about IMO. I arm my system and drive it the same as any pass I would make on motor, the controller does the rest.

Mine is coming in Monday, I'm hoping to setup my N20 system so all I do is flip a switch and everything else is done automatically.
