Default Question About Nitrous Setup

I have a 97 C5 and am interested in 100 shot wet system for my car. I don't understand how you keep it from spraying in 1st and 2nd. It seems to me that it doesn't realy need to be activated till 3rd gear. I'm a newbie to Nitrous---thanks in advance for you comments! :)

:cheers:

Really I dont know of a way unless you leave the system off until you hit third. But the best way is to get it to when it only comes on after a certain rpm and under WOT. I dont see why you wouldnt want to spray in 1st and 2nd. As long as you dont spray at a low rpm, it will ok to do.

I use a WOT switch and a arming switch. If I don't want to hit until 2nd 0r 3rd I just don't arm the system. When I arm it, I am at wot already so it kicks in right away.
At the track you will want to hit it in first.
If your car is a 6spd. You better order a new clutch. Mine dropped first time at the track with a drag radial. :cheers:

Activating Nitrous sooner pending traction from the tires you are using is your ticket to better ET'S ! first gear nitrous activation can be achieved easily with ET STREETS or NITTO drags (555R) and a proper burnout ! :steering:

I have a window switch with a 3k to 5.9k activation and it has a 1st gear lockout that wont let you spray untill you hit second gear. Street tires can handle a 100hp shot in second gear. I'll post up a pic latter today.

The MSD window switch runs between $89.00 to $99.00 depending where you buy it. You also have to buy the chip or (pills) which are $24.00 per set for the 3000 (pills) and another $24.00 for the either 5000 (pills) or 6000 (pills) set. Total is aound $150 for the whole set up. :yesnod:

Company name is BMN Racing Technologies. $145 for the window switch with the lockout, $95 for just the window switch alone. I can sell NX also. I'll have to shoot ya an email for any more info you want. I wrote the forum 3 times since March 13 about advertising but still havn't got a response from them. Hopefully a moderator will see this and nudge one of the adverising/sales reps with his elbow and wake them up so they can send me the supporting vendor info and prices.

Got the pics but my viewing software crashed on me. I'll email them out asap. Let me know if you are still interested.

Bill
