His kit was smart enough to turn on/off as needed to keep the transmission alive, and the post-TH400 kit still had a number of safety systems designed into it...it's still a design I point folks to when they ask how to set up a nitrous kit even an idiot can't kill the car with.
Like I said heat and friction kill automatic transmissions. An instantaneous shot of NOS is NOT the same as a mild bump in hp on a ****ty transmission, it will slip and overheat in an instant!
Toyota normally build in a pretty good "safety" factor into their blocks, transmissions and differentials, so hopefully the IS trans will hold a little shift tightening. I guess we'll find out.

George Debski, who ran that way flawlessly for years, having the fastest, most reliable, B-body in the world on what for a while was a totally stock motor and nitrous (he eventually did a mild head port and a mild cam upgrade).... he was also the first stock-bottom-end B-body in the world to get into the 11s (on a car that's in the 15s from the factory). He was actually pretty smart, he just didn't want to give up overdrive for a while.
LOL,...HKS is crazy, that's why we're following his progress so we will know what NOT to do. I say go for it

So just quick random thoughts here:
So just quick random thoughts here:
If cat backs give around 5hp for $800-$1,500.. perhaps being able to always run max available factory timing with a Snows water/Meth kit...$350-$550? (plus whatever the methanol might bring to the table)... would be hard to show on a dyno though..
And a HKS module for quicker shifts and possibly more timing yet... but around $1,500?
Hemmm… wish I still had garage takeoff parts sitting around… Guess I’ll have to let someone with deeper “toys” pockets try these first…

Unfortunately it hasn't started yet, so it doesn't look possible to get the first batch ready by Christmas. I am trying as hard as I can to get this to production as quickly as possible. I understand why in-house manufacturing is highly preferred and I will be working towards that in the future.
Thanks everyone for your patience and I hope everyone who is interested will continue supporting this effort. I will be sure to post any updates as soon as they occur.
Thanks again!

bummer... but you still have my support! Good luck though, sounds like a lot of work to get it manufactured... Will there be some special discount for the first 20 buyers or group buy? (i had to ask, lol)
