The nitrous setups have a wide open throttle switch. I have the much superior
auto :-) and just hold er down til they 1/4 is over. I do have a shift kit
which NOS highly recommends and have had no problems with anything in 3 years
of running the juice.I have hit the rev limiter a couple of times with no
adverse effects (I won't elaborate on how but I did). Anyway I have been told
the stock rev limiter cuts fuel to the injectors which couls cause serious
problems if juice kept flowing and I am getting a rpm window switch which will
turn the juice on at set rpm and off at set rpm just below the rev limiter.
