ill help you out man.

you will spray through shifts with the nitrous active. this is not good for the trans, and also interferes with torque management, hurting performance if its not disabled already.

you will want a window switch and set the shut off rpm lower than your actual trans shift point.

its NEVER ok to hit the limiter on nitrous reguardless, so even a mistake could cost you.

i reccomend the nitrous outlet dual digital window switch. easy to install, and works perfectly, every time.

I am willing to bet that Chuck Cow could write you a custom tune to address all those problems.

Yes but......I also agree with Sea Five. Don't play games with NyTrous.

No many 4L60e's are gonna live with NyTrous on the shifts at WOT.

#1 The car may not shift at WOT and if it doesn't, It will hit the limiter and hurt your motor.

#2 The trans can't take that beating if you've got good tires...Stuff will break.

A good safety system is worth it's weight in gold on ANY N2O install....
