Default Compucar nitrous setup

I have a compucar nitrous kit. They do not make a window switch for there kits that i can find. My question is if i buy say an MSD window switch am i going to have a problem because my car is a stick shift. I am guessing its probably going to kick in at 1st gear and i really would prefer it start in second. Also when i left off the gas to shift is that bad for then engine because i am off the gas on a 5 speed. I would not be hitting a button to let off before i shift with a window switch. I didnt know if it was bad to have a switch with a 5 speed. THanks

Letting off the gas when shifting is a GOOD idea lol. A window switch is ideal for a manual. I have a MSD window switch on mine (it's a 5 speed) and have it set to spray between 3-6k.

It allows the nitrous to only spray between a certain rpm range.

It sets a certain rpm range that the system can be activated. Therefor it will not spray nitrous under a set rpm and over a set rpm. I have mine set to come on at 3k and shutoff at 6200 rpm.

edit: you beat me to it!

Damn dude lol... 11.5??? That's faster than the last time i saw. Did you do something different in the last several months? I seem to remember you running a 11.7 or 11.9 IIRC.
