I used to spray a wet 100 on the shift but every now and then the tranny would slipp into 2nd for some reason it was normally the first pass off the day, and it always got into the rev limiter going into 3rd, so i instaleed a window swithch killing the n20 at 6000 rpm and have know problem with 1-2 slip and no limiter going into 3rd so i picked up .2 in the 1/8 mile with the window. But the car is all stock tune so maybe a good tune would have fixed the shift problems

i had a friend that did it and his tranny lasted 4 runs and about 60 miles from the track. I wouldn't recomend it on a tranny that hasn't been built for it.

Can't tell you the ET difference, but when I juice my '94 I just use a window switch set for 3200-6000 RPM. Have only a few nitrous passes on the current setup (car is a bracket racer that I run NA 95% of the time), but it has not seemed to hurt the built tranny one bit.

BTW, "Threw" is the past tense of "throw". I think you meant "through".

Grammar **** strike!

I was about to ask the same question. Also with a window switch, will it start to spray again as the rpms drop, but not fully engaged into the next gear? Like while its dropping from 6k down to 3500? (not sure on exact rpm) This cars my daily driver and I would like the transmission to last as long as possible. Right now i have 20k miles on the car. Warrenty work?

Do you have an auto or manual tranny?

Auto. I never worried about this on my last cars, they where all manual, i just let off the gas a little while shifting and it stopped spraying.
