Question Auto transmission nitrous need help now.

I have a 2011 automatic v6 Camaro. I plan on purchasing the ZEX nitrous kit this weekend. Everything is figured out, exhaust, intake, headers, working with Trifecta right now, getting the purge kit, pressure gauge, but here is where im confused... It says the ZEX system engages at WOT, I get that, I understand how it works and how to program it. And I also see window switches, wich I understand and know how to program it (from reading manuals) I plan to buy the NOS dual stage window switch to use the second stage possibly to trigger exhaust cut outs. The automatic transmission, it says I shouldn't spray under 2500, but I launched between 1000rpm and 2500rpm so I assumed I would get the window switch to only activate after 2500 rpm, and I know the rev limiter will cut the fuel so I plan to add a little more rpms to the rev limiter as a buffer and set the window switch to below it slightly so it will stop spraying incase it hits rev and cuts fuel. THIS is the confusing part, im tuning my tranny as well to shift harder/quicker and I read its bad to spray through shifting and i heard it wasn't. But I stay at WOT through a shift (automatic duh) so as soon as that nitrous shuts off its instantly back on because the rpms drop for the next gear. So here are my questions/concerns.

During an automatic shift does it cut fuel OOORRR temporarily disable WOT voltage until its back in gear?

If it doesn't how would I stop spraying just before the shift and start spraying after it has shifted?

And last am I just over thinking things and need the window switch for low rpm safety and rev limiter safety and just pedal to the metal and let it spray away?

I would like the AUTOMATIC nitrous owners to chime in please, or people who know how to nitrous an automatic vehicle. This isn't a bs hopes and dreams thread, I'm seriously buying everything this weekend. Thank you!

I and some others in here like etmx183 with auto spray through the shift. I actually have mine set to spray up to 7200rpm. The issue I found by having it cut off at the shift is I would get knock retard when it comes back on again. I know a lot of guys like the cost and simplicity of window switches, and I had one too, but spend a little more and be happier with the nos mini controller.

My car is nearly 90k miles and spraying most of it, and lots of testing. Even though you never know when a weak part will let go, these motors and trans are tough.

Do you have a link to that part? I ordered the NOS dual output window switch, I just spend $2200 on an entire system for my car.

It will turn off the nitrous when you lift your foot off the pedal. The beauty of the mini controller over the window switch you can control how much spray it initially sprays and brings in the rest over time. If I were to spray 100 on street tires off the line i wouldn't get very far(no traction), however the controller allows you to find the sweet spot.

Well I just ordered everything. I talked to ZEX and a few guys who have nitrous on their v6 a6 cars and I should be safe with a window switch and the trifecta tune. I might make a write up on instalking everything.
