Gotta a question to all nitrous users, curious on how many use safety equipment I was just wondering how many of you use safety equipment other than a push button and WOT switch. How many use a window switch or FPSS and how long have you ran it with or without?

WOT and arming switch is all I run. Might get some safety stuff in the future though. I did one race event with nothing more than a hot switch loosely wired out of the console, foot-brake/stall to around 2500 and at launch throw the switch, kind of scary on that night, I placed second but wont do it again.

Window, TPS, Wideband 02, Air/Fuel Switch, FPSS, large filter.
Might look into a back up nitrous solenoid in the future as well, just in case my nitrous solenoid sticks.
Gatta be save. Most of these accessories are so cheap, its a no brainer.

I just use a wot and window switch. The used kit I bought came with a FPSS, but it started leaking so I pulled it off. I've got a fuel pressure gauge in my pillar, so hopefully if things get that bad, I'll notice it before hand.

WOT, FPSS, Window Switch, Big *** Filter, I will be getting a wideband shortly, but it's just as much for tuning as watching my 02's on the jug. Also a delay timer, but it's so I don't spray outta the hole.

I have just a arming switch and a Throttle Position Switch. I also use a basic narrow band O2 gauge to keep an eye on things and it has more then paid for its self when I was having problems with my nitrous.
I plan on installing a FPSS with an idiot light.

I use everything BUT the fuel presure cutoff switch. I guess I trust my fuel system to much.
WOT, window, timing retard box, filter and misc other non safty items.

no spray on my camaro...but on my mustang, the computer turns it on at 85%tps and the set rpms. i also have a fpss wired into a dummy light instead of the solenoids. ALWAYS use a nos filter. never know whats in the bottles that theyre pumping the nos out of to fill ur bottle. NEVER had a solenoid problem since ive run a filter. Though i dont run any...Safety solenoid(s) are not a bad thing....specially if you use a progressor.

JUST A WOT ON THE 68. when the pedals down so's the bottle. or at least it is when the arming switch is on. on the 96 it is just a pushbutton no wot at all. if i'm dumb enough to ever hit the button without being wot i deserve whatever happens.
