Default N2O/Transbrake switch

Does anyone know of a company that markets a switch or control box that would allow the N2O to immediately kick in after releasing the transbrake? Of course a 2 or 3 step might be in order since we want to mash the gas at the line. <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0">

Just wire up the trigger for the transbrake to the relay, and hook the nitrous up through the normally closed position (as well as having arming, WOT, window, etc.)

That way whenever the transbrake is activated the nitrous is disabled, but when the transbrake is de-activated, and all other conditions are met, the solenoids rae energized.

That setup is exactly how I have my car wired up to work with the trans brake. It works great.

Thanks for response guys. We sat down and figured it out(on paper anyways). We actually had a diagram of a circuit that used four seperate relays. Its enough to drive a person insane. I don't know what sort of drugs they were on when they wrote that, but it must have been some strong stuff. Thanks again. We are gonna try it out friday. Hopefully I can video some air and a high nine. <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0">

Hey guys ..Im late to the conversation but all you will need is one normally closed relay that breaks the circuit when you engage the transbrake.
Ive got a few diagrams I can fax if needed. Happy Nitrousing <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0">

Thanks for the help guys. It worked like a charm. Now we can get it out there on Friday(if it doesn't rain again). 100 shot out of the hole and 150 in second. Should be very interesting with the new driveline. <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0">
