Default Nitrous on launch?

I got a NOS Plate system installed on my GSR swapped EK. I alos got some BFG Drag RAdials that i slap on when i go to da track. Since i've never launched on this nitrous setup before, should i launch with it armed? or should I flip the arming switch when i'm in second? It has a WOT switch to turn it on, so if i just flip the arming switch and if its at WOT it will just turn on right? what do my fellow nitrous users do?! (i do not wanna get a progressive controller or 2-step before u say anything like that...)

With slicks or mabye the dr's and a lsd i would say spray off the line but i doubt youll have enough traction... Just try it..Thats all you can do . First i sprayed in 1st i didnt know it till went to flip the switch, and it was flipped..lol..Its all in how much traction you have . I used to launch with it all the time ..

i always like the nitrous to be activated by the button on a b&m T handle,

its nice on street tires because you can use it as soon as the tires will let you and easily lift off if they dont

using nitrous in first gear is where all your et gain lies

using a wot switch I launch at around 5k stay only half way in the throttle until it drops to around 4k(traction) then stomp on it and spray away.

On DR's you prolly wont be able to spray in first. I had to roll out about 60' before I sprayed it on DR's but still in first. It also depends on the size shot that you spray.

75 Shot, direct port. I was thinking what djmota said. stay on about 3/4 throttle til it catches, then mash da gas.
