Drag bike micro-controller shifter and NOS control

This started as a project about 2 and a half years ago when I started drag racing motorcycles with a friend who has a bike shop. The original project started as how to make things more efficient, easier on the motorcycle and of course more constistant. Of the bikes we race the fastest when pushed to the edge has been 7.92 seconds at 181mph if I remember the mph correctly, it consistantly runs 8.05 to 8.15 seconds in the 170's so obviously safety is paramount. Now of course this is the disclaimer that has to come with posting a project like this. Racing, Air Shifters and of course Nitrous Oxide can be very dangerous even in a well maintaned and planned system. I highly recommend that only individuals with full understanding and experience work on or operate either of these systems and claim no liability for there use. With that said, on with the project.
