WINDINGS
By connecting the retard wire to the 12 volt activation wire of the nitrous solenoid, the wire
recieves a ground path through the windings of the solenoid. When the activation button is
pressed, 12 volts is applied to the wire, thus removing the ground path and activating the
retard stage.
