Safest way to run N2O with a stick?

What is a good way to set up N2O if you are running it with a maunual tranny?

Window switch, monentary switch that you can release during shifts?

What?

I run a microswitch on the throttle, never had a problem with it coming on and off with shifts.

Can't you just run a button that needs to be pressed by your right hand, so that when you shift there is no way you can have you hand on the button too?

Kinda like a fail save. Totally 100% imposible to have the N2O on while shifting. At least that is what I am going to do, but my N2O is more for a bit of fun around some back roads not really for the track.

For the track you need a more consistant method.

Both ways would work, but the micro switch on the TB or gas pedal is more consistant. A window switch is also a good idea if you ever miss a shift.

Can you give me a quick rundown on what a window switch is exactly? Thanks.

besides the Wide Open Throttle Switch... the "window switch" would only come on at 3000 RPM and shut off @ 5500 RPM (before the Rev Limiter kicks in ) so your nos is only on when Wide Open and within that RPM Range...

Window is adjustable.
