Default Toggle switch start

I am finishing up the wiring on my nitrous system and got an idea....I want to make the car start with a momentary toggle switch. Switch will be in the box I built for all the nitrous controls. I want it so were the key has to be in the on position and then started with the momentary switch. Anyone know where i need to tap into the wiring?

i toyed with the idea of doing something similar, but i wanted something akin to the newer Lexus models that only require a key to be within a certain proximity for the doors to unlock or to be able to start the car merely by pushing a button on the dash... then i came to my senses and realized that, for a daily driver, THAT much work for a short-lived novelty on a daily driver, though possible, would be ridiculous... i'll keep turning my key for a while
