Yeah, but I hate when you take your hands off the wheel to touch the wires together!

that makes me think of the time i was tuning my nitrous on a six speed car with very basic wiring going to a push button starter switch that i was holding in my hand with the steering wheel, grabbing gears and then leaned over to take a peek at my laptop, in my buddies lap. he was a little on edge when i was swerving over the rumble strips, grabing a gear and my eyes were not on the road. lol

Hey I have to wear gloves now so I tape one wire to the glove thumb on my left hand and then tape the other to the steering wheel. When I launch the car I just hold on for dead life


NOW you are laughing right? When I was having problems this year I thought that up!

Man i thought you just put the hose in the intake directly and just use the valve to modulate. No?

Ahh found one of your old nitrous vid's ellis.....back in the good ol' days. Waaayy before relays and microswitches.

tried that on a honda once, just for ***** and giggles, well not directly in the intake, i strapped the hose to the airfilter. by the time it got enough to make a differance it was too late to shut it down fast enough. by the time i closed the valve and the line bleed out it had revved to the moon. haha
