Default Trying to hit the track tomorrow, need help quick!

I need some help in order to have my NX kit up and running for the strip tomorrow. I'm trying to get my MSD window switch working and I'm not having any luck.

Here's where I am... Everything seems to be wired up correctly. The output of the MSD switch is going into the TPS switch to power it up when I'm in the rpm range I had set in the MSD switch. When I take the Vette out and arm everything, the N2O never comes on in the rpm range (3200rpms).

Now, if I bypass the MSD switch, it works like a champ and takes off like a bat out of hell. I'm down to the tach wire not being connected to the right wire on the motor.

What wire did you guys, that are using the MSD window switch, tap into to get the correct rpm reading???? I think this is where my problem is. I currently have it hooked up to the green wire coming off the coil (the other 2 are pk/bk). I had probed this wire with a tach/dwell meter and it seemed like the right wire, am I wrong???

Another question, I know the 2 wire loops need to be cut for the LS1, do I need to cut these for the LT1 since the LT1 only has one coil or am I ok with leaving them intact?

Thanks in advance guys!!!

Did it have to due with the 'Output' going to the TPS instead of the 'input'? -Matt-
