But with a window switch doesn't the nitrous kick in again when the transmittion is in the middle of shifting as the rpm's are going back down?

You usually use it in conjunction with a WOT switch and as long as you don't powershift on the juice it will work as planned.
That doesn't help with an auto though

True. With an auto you would just want to set the upper window just short of your rev limiter in case the tranny did not shift in time. Most the auto guys just run it through the gear changes.

Yes the bottom end of my motor is stock...i really dont worry about blowing up a motor...just rebuild it no big deal and as a matter of fact this block is the original L98 that came in the car..thats why i dont worry. But i would not recommend what i do because i know someday it will blow all to hell! But when the time comes o'well! :)
