This is very good advise! Keep in mind they are always going to advise you to do whatever is the safest. They are trying to keep you from hurting anything by NOT taking all precautions. You can get away with 150 shot on pump gas AS LONG AS YOU MONITOR the engine for knock or lean conditions.
That was from a nitrous manufactuer for Mustangs.. kinda interesting.
I'm so-so on it now I guess, but to prove my earlier point, ever noticed when people give dyno numbers, they have 2 figures.. one with nitrous, the other without? That's my whole temporary point. You can't disengage a supercharger without physically removing it.
I also looked at nitrous switches.. it is badass/hilarious that they are fighter jet style toggle switches.., with a MASTER ARM switch.. hehehe

LOL yea those are always fun to see. Most people who are serious about a NOS system for HP reasons and street racing will hide as much as possible and not use any of these "look at me" switches. When I had spray on my Z28 the cig lighter was the arming switch and then it was on a wide open throttle switch. Push lighter in and mash gas and away you went. If I loaned the car out I took the lighter out of the car and there was no chance of them using the spray!
Ask GOAT66 about the fogger kit he had on his GTO tri-power motor that was plumbed UNDER the intake and pretty much completly hidden under the intake. One of the best installes I have seen and at glance you would not even know it was there.
Than ask him what happen to the crankshaft in that motor!!!!
