I think it depends on if the track is IHRA/NHRA certified.

I'm not even sure if that's the case. Terry ran his S-10 with nitrous at IRP, with his bottle directly behind his seat. Now Ryan, do you think Terry had a blowdown tube on his bottle? This is Terry we're talking about. 
Then again, this was at Indy Truck Bash, so I don't know if they were doing any inspections at that time.

Well, if they didn't inspect then there ya go. I'm 99% sure, that IHRA/NHRA tracks require a blow down tube irregardless. Obviously, that only applies if they do a true tech inspection. I know when I went to MIR last year they asked me if my truck had the juice on it, if I answered 'yes' I'm assuming they were going to ask about the blow down tube....

Did you not read my post? Terry went to IRP(Indianapolis Raceway Park) which is OBVIOUSLY an IHRA/NHRA track. He wasn't asked about his bottle, they didn't inspect it, he just ran it. His nitrous setup was so "Terry-Rigged" as I like to call it!

Plainly put, Either you can do it the right way which is usually safer and required at sanctioned race events or you can throw caution to the wind and take your life in your own hands. They make rules and regulations that are enforced to keep us from hurting ourselves from our own negligence. These rules sometimes require special items. These items are the what if parts. What if my bottle bursts it's disc, what if my car backfires and catches on fire, what if that fire engulfs my car and ignites the nitrous that is spewing out of nitrous bottle that has filled my car?? There are reasons to have these items installed. They are not just stupid or worthless parts to put on your car. Just imagine that your car might have backfired and the fire spread to the interior of your car because the nitrous was feeding the fire. If you had a blowdown tube, the fire might have taken longer to get out from under the hood and the fire men might have been able to put the fire out before it spread from under your hood. The difference is only a bit more time, but that is all it takes to make the difference. Be smart about the modifications you make. Some of the smallest ones can make more of a difference than you can imagine.

It should turn off when you get off the gas and shift - hence a window switch is a must (and I'm pretty sure it comes with one)! Powersifting with the nitrous going will destroy the clutch and tranny in no time. I would say no to a finger-activated switch you must rely on to turn it on and off. In reality you don't want it to hit in first gear, ESPECIALLY if you bog down. I've seen what happens when a guy mashes the zoom juice after bogging the take-off.....lets just say the intake manifold on his 5.0 went through the hood!

Sounds like you should have done a lot more research before buying nitrous. If you dont know the answer to those simple questions, you have a lot to learn. I suggest you read every nitrous thread here and anywhere else you can find before you install that kit.

Stazi, most kits don't come with window switches, just WOT switches. And, powershifting any FI car will hurt the tranny
