Nitrous and Manual Transmission?

Is there anything special I need to do to run nitrous and a manual transmission? I've heard some people say that you don't want to hit the nitrous when the motor is unloaded. While I do lift when I shift a little, I'm sure sometimes I am back on the throttle before the clutch is fully engaged. What happens if I miss a shift as well?

Thanks for the help...hopefuly those with manuals and nitrous will chime in.

Nick

You can run the WOT switch in series with a 'clutch fully up' switch.

It is not good to miss a shift ...

You need a rpm window activation switch. I just hooked one up today on my car. It uses MSD pills to adjust what you want the N20 to come on and off at.

I was just checking these window switchs out yesterday, the harlan one at $50 seems to be hard to beat.

The window switch is the bigest needed safety device for running nitrous.Expecially a manual car.
