Default need a little wiring help(nitrous)

ok so im in the process of hooking up the kit. the actual hardware is not an issue at all, the electrical is giving me a hard time though. im working with an msd digital window switch, zex tps switch, on/off switch, 2 silonoids, and ofcourse tons of grounds.

heres what the msd and zex say...

msd
black-ground
red-+12v, to ignition switch
white- tach input
gray-normally closed switch output
yellow-normally open switch output


zex
red-12v from arming switch
white-tps
black-ground
blue/blue-provide ground switching circut to both solenoids.

and it shows a small diagram showing 12+ volts going to the solenoids ad the blue's acting as a ground.

**** in bold i have figured out... heres what im looking at doing i guess... will this work right? if not... wtf should i do?

i have a diagram drawn up here but cant get it on the comp right now

basicaly im loking at going from power to the on/off, to the msd, to the zex, then power to the solenoids, and the 2 zex wires acting as the noid's grounds.

prty sure thats going to work, but anyone else have thoughts?

and the other deal.. the msd has the gray and yellow(explained above) which wire do i use to have it get power from 3-6k(or whatever i set the window at?) and the other just gets grounded correct?

The MSD switch should either

A: Be electronically adjustable
B: Have a "pill" to put in it for min and max RPM.

Make sure you ground the Fuel and Solenoids TOGETHER. That assures you are getting consistent voltage to both of them.

Your 12V wires will need to be connected to a switched source (aka on that's not on all the time) You can find that in the fusebox, or behind the shifter @ the cig lighter.

yea the msd is digital, all electronically adjustable.

from the looks of things it looks like the zex box is what the noids ground to, i guess i should know... should my on/off go to my solenoids... or to my msd switch? and i guess they other will get a key on 12V source?

so nobody knows what to do here?

i have an idea but think its wrong...

can they both go inline of eachother, like the zex interrupts the solenoids ground, and the msd interrupts the zex ground.... that'd work... correct?
