Your opinions on this manual tranny setup

Jsut a thought, what if I got a 2nd WOT switch, hooked it inline with the normal one, and had one run on the gas pedal so juice only works at WOT, and have the other, set on the clutch, so the juice only works when the clutch pedal is out.

That way one could powershift, and the juice woudl cut off in between gears, and help out.

this also might help me in my car since I launch around 3500-4000 rpms, and I feather the clutch a little at launch.


Any opinions on this?

You should be using a window switch, especially if you want to powershift. That way, the N2O is turned off before you hit the rev limiter.

so, with the window shift.. i can spray using the full throttle setup, and as soon as it gets to the rev, it will turn off..?
what if i want to shift like at 5500 rpm? and i shift, and still go full throttle?

ehh some might argue that powershifting has helped me a little bit. If anything it woudl jsut be an extra safety feature right? I can make a WOT switch pretty easy, we use the same switch at my work, just need to make a different bracket for it.

Well you're right that it's hard on the trans, especially synchros, but flat shifting will absolutely pick you up e.t. in some cases a lot. when you shift you interrupt the power flow losing momentum, power shifting helps keep that momentum steady and also quickens the gear change. I've picked up 4 tenths doing it. It's just hard on parts and risky on spray without the right safety switches.
