Default Those running dedicated fuel cells

I got Daves stand alone and was wondering before I wire it up if those that are running stand alone kits are using a toggle switch or wiring the pump to a switched 12v source?

Did a search and didn't come up with anything other than alot of people are buying them

I don't own one but I would think it's all about personal preference. If it's an all out race car that sees only track time, you might want to have it wired to a 12V switched just so you don't have to deal with it. If it's a street/strip car I personally would wire it to the arming switch of your nitrous system. It would really suck to have a seperate toggle switch and forget to switch it on before hitting the bottle.

Wire it in to the arming switch and use a relay. Like stated above.....you might forget to turn on the pump. That would be bad. By wiring it to the arming switch....when you arm the system, everything is ready to go. All you then need to do is make sure the bottle pressure is up and then purge the lines.

wired into the arming circuit using a relay, definitely a good choice, makes tuning very easy.

Not yet been busy with the holiday's and waiting on other stuff. That's the main reason for the post was to make sure I had the wiring figures out.
