Default When do I spray nitrous

I will be putting nitrous onto my car and it will only be used for the track. The thing is I haven't done much research on nitrous. I don't know when to spray or anything like that. Can someone give me some help. Thanks guys and gals.

Doing your own research on this topic would be your best bet
Nitrous information is widely available on the internet, and on this forum.
But for your question, Nitrous is typically used from 2500-3000rpm until the shift point
or maybe a few hundred rpm below it
On a stock 4.6 engine you should be able to run a 125 shot if everything is done right.
But you have ALOT of research to do before you consider nitrous, it may be the best value of hp per dollar, but it can be deadly to your engine if its not used nearly perfectly.

I hit the spray nothing under 2Krpms when i had it and all the way till i hit whatever my max rpms and shifted. I would hit it in second gear and up till i hit the traps at the track.

I do not suggest spraying under 3000 rpms and not over 5500. you do not want to bounce off the rev limiter while spraying. anything over a 100 shot you should consider a tune and some fuel system upgrades.

I spray at the line in 1st gear above 3000 and My NX TPS switch activates at only full throttle to protect the engine.

I suggest you do the research it not a toy until you control it.

Get a tune, one more time get a good tune, trust me I tried not having one a burnt though the spark plugs literally and I am lucky it wasn;t the piston or the valves lesson learned.
