  • hitting wot-THEN-arming??

    ok guys heres my problem...
    running n/a with my 3000 stall verter i get out of the hole just as quick, if not quicker than when i spray. so im wondering if its "safe" for me to start a race with trh zex disarmed, then arm it after i shift into second, that way i dont get the added powen in first, where i dont need it. so it would be like having a n2o button, but is this safe for the system or will it cause damage? or should i just but a nos trigger button?

    I don't see any problem with that. That's how I test upgrades to my system on the highway, not having to come to a complete stop. Just mash the pedal from a roll and then flip the switch to feel the difference.

        ok guys,
        thanks, i just now thought of that, it was never a problem until i got that 3000 stall, only thing is i just broke my wrist, so its impossible for me to flick the switch while im holding the wheel, ill try it in 6 weeks though [img]graemlins/crybaby.gif[/img]

            It works basically the same as a window switch, except you're turning it on. For those who have the window switch, you're n/a off the line anyway, unless you have the switch set at 2000- rpms.

                I don't have my window switch installed yet, so I flip on the switch at around 3K also. ;)

                    Don't you risk the chance of nitrous backfire when spraying too soon?

                      Flipping the master is like pushing your activation button.

                      That is fine to do.

                      Misterjuice's old buick skylark was juiced and only had master and WOT
                      To gain traction at the track I flipped the master on and off
