Default Spraying through shifts?

Whats exactly does this mean? I know its kinda self explanitory but exactly what does it mean, and what can be done to help out with the trans? I read putting a shift kit and servo in help?....

Spraying through the shifts means that while you are going through the gears, your truck is continually spraying. As you change gears, the nitrous is still spraying. A window switch will alleviate this problem by briefly turning the nitrous off while you shift and resuming again after you shift. You can get a shift kit and a servo if you want but it is going to be money wasted if you want to spray through the shifts on a 4L60E...

It work fine without a window switch. A window switch is just good if you want to spray it within an RPM range like most guys want to...

Yeah, but if you're spraying through shifts UBLUZIN 4l60e lol. Do you have a wot switch or what? How is it activated? I recommend getting a window switch from nitrous outlet w/ the built in TPS (Throttle Position Sensor)

I'd get a window switch before I start messing around with it if I were you. You can get a used one for ~$80 which is much cheaper than a new transmission...

THink about it another way. Your already spraying a ticking time bomb, unless its built. I would NOT spray through my shifts when I first got nitrous. Now i would rather spray through them then load and unload 3 times in the 1/4.
