Nitrous Window Start

#1 Post by 71 Nova » Sat Dec 16, 2006 9:09 pm

Hey I have a question on setting up a nitrous window from a nitrous novice. Should you set the RPM start for your nitrous window switch just above converter stall RPM? Or below to hit as you are hooking up? Or do you need to set it such that the RPM does not fall below the nitrous start RPM during a run? Or is there another factor I missing something here? What’s the best choice?

Does your car have a transbrake or are you footbraking it?

I'm footbraking at 1500 RPM with a 2500 RPM converter. I have a 3500 RPM stall converter waiting to be installed, which I hope will improve 60' times, which now are slow (2.1 sec, ugh).

The window switch is going to be handy for you to set up how the car launches by setting when in the RPM Curve it comes on. I'd suggust setting it about 3500 to start with then experiment with the optimum setting. Bringing it in too early say 2500 might cause a back fire, so I would want it higher than that. On the high side limit you want it to cut the nitrous off before hitting your rev limit setting.
