Window switch, where to set...?
My car redlines w fuel cutoff at 5700, I have a shift light set at 5600 and will set my nitrous to shut off at 5500, does that sound safe and like good numbers given the factory fuel cutoff?

Don't know how far ahead of fuel cutoff most people run their nitrous cutoff but 100 RPM sounds like enough to me.
However, I would set your shift light to come on before your nitrous cutoff. I can't think of a good reason to kill the nitrous before you shift.

Only thing I can think of, is if its a manual car with MAP sensor and you lift off the gas to shift, it will momentarily go to a default lower map and pull out alot of fuel and the nitrous is still spraying... I never really heard of any problems doing it like that but you never know.
Automatic I'd spray til the shift point. 100-150 rpms or so before fuel cutoff is a good point to stop nitrous in the window switch. thats about what I did.

My window switch is set from 3,000 rpm - 6,000rpm, which is 200 rpm below my extended redline. I think you're in good shape!
