on the pcm it is the red connector pin #10 it is a white wire. the trick is it sends a 4 cylinder singal so make sure you set window switch for it

Do you have the 5700 pills. You definitly DONOT want to bounce a nitrous car off the rev limiter. The way the motor saves itself is by cutting fuel. Get the 5700 or 5800 pill. Your car cuts fuel at 5850.

Can someone please eplain in detail how to hook the window switch up. What does the yellow wire hook to? I know it is a negative 1.5 volts? I have it wired to the red harness on the white wire I hooked the yellow wire to the ground on the silinoid did not work I then hooked it to the ground on the toggle still didnt work? This window switch is being a pain I have the msd window switch with the wot and purge. also is there a better mounting place for the wot besides under the petal. Isit possible to wire it into the throttle body? id appreciate any help on this. thanks brandon

The yellow is a ground source. It allows a grounding point for item like fpss or relay. That way through MSD ground it will allow a ground to product only in the desired rpm rang, thus no n2o below or above rpm's specified. Hope this makes it a little clearer. To really see what is going on draw up your wiring schematic and someone can help you. It can get confusing, even for us with experiance.
