That is correct. Arm the nitrous before you pre stage, and purge it, stage, push on the transbreak, it cuts power to the nitrous system, floor it and when you release the transbreak it activates everything and hold on, you going for a ride. Now 03slobra how much stall on your converter, when you are leaving in a 4200rpm the juice would make it stall more, so is it a 5000 rpm converter, if so, you have the wrong converter for the weight of that car, and the juice would start pushing trough the converter, slowing you down.

That is correct if that's what coupe was saying. However, the way I read his posts, he was intending for the nitrous to be flowing while the brake was engaged.... not a good thing.

Yep, what he said.

I would use a SPDT relay for your transbrake. Just run the brake off of the Normally-Open side and your nitrous arming power through the Normally-Closed side. That way there is no power to your nitorus system as long as the brake is on. Then, once you release the brake, the nitrous system will work as normal.

Yea, that's what I meant for "leaving on the juice"...the window-switch thing was making me think he was wanting a delay by using his throttle...I confused everyone, sorry.
