Gotta correct this for you a bit Tom!

The NO2 window switch on the utec is only active when at WOT so when I get sideways on the street(never happens at the track) I just lift up a bit to keep RPM's up but it will turn the NO2 off.

But thats why I roll my MT 275/60/15's all the time to reduce these situations

^^ But don't you have your N20 set between a certain RPM range? I think my setup is different from yours.

^^That is what the window switch does.

The Utec has a built in window switch & a WOT switch? I had to buy a separate MSD window switch for my ZEX kit & Stillen SC when I had it.
275/60/15 MT's

I filled my tank 1-2x's a month at $4/lb. I'm sure you can find a cheaper shop.
The n20 freezes twice as fast/much. You probably will be filling the co2 2-3 times as much, maybe more. I've seen both in person. So in the long run, you MIGHT spend more with co2 with no option to throw a 35 shot in the future

Say you have the UTEC set to spray N20 at 3500rpm and shut off at 6500rpm. Now if the UTEC is set for wide open throttle then wouldn't the spray continue to spray no matter what the rpms are, so long as its WOT. I consistantly hit the trap at 7000 rpms at wide open throttle and am pretty sure the UTEC is set to stop spraying at 6500 rpm.
I'm going to have to get with JT for clarification on my set up.

The window switch should only be active at WOT. Basically, Tom, your using that button as a WOT switch(correct me if I'm wrong). I have a switch to arm the NO2 but it will only spray at WOT betweent the selected RPM range.

Tom, do you have to release the button between shifts? Or maybe that push button you use just arms it but the utec will only spray when the button is pushed at WOT?

I have an arming switch also..Heres what I remember from JT. The only way I can spray the nitrous is by pushing the hand held button and the UTEC won't let it come on until the specified RPM and will shut it off at a specified RPM even if I'm holding the button down. No matter what RPM I'm at,even in the specified RPM range, if I don't hold the button then no N20. When I launch at 3k, I'm holding the button down but its not spraying until my specified RPM.

No I don't release the button between shifts.

Good deal, thanks for the insight.
