This patent describes a system. It comprises: a nitrous oxide supply system and a control for the nitrous oxide supply system, comprising: means for sensing a gear ratio position of a transmission connected to the engine, and means for opening and closing the valve in dependence on the sensed gear ratio position. The sensing means comprises switches for sensing positions of shift levers on the transmission. The system comprises a plurality of manually actuable switches connected to the switches for sensing positions of the shift levers. The manually actuable switches being associated, respectively, with the gear ratios of the transmission and being individually actuable to cause actuation of the valve during operation in the associated gear ratio.
