Nitrous
Its a arming switch in your car (toggle switch basiclly). All it does is completes the circuit, so when u go wide open throttle, that hits that switch and sprays the nitrous.
I hope that makes since.
The window switch controls what rpms the nitrous sprays at.

Ah gotcha. Trying to learn as much as I can about this stuff. Never really looked into nitrous much even though I've heard almost all the terms for it.
Your smarter than me....... I learned **** the hard way. I didn't run all the safty things and pop my intake. LOL but after i bought my window switch and wide open throttle, I have never had a problem with it!!!
Beyond the basic kit the only thing you'll really need to make it run consistent is a bottle heater. Although i'd personally do a window switch and a nitrous pressure gauge if it were me. You'll need different plugs as well.
Josh.Davis nailed the flip switch description. With my setup i have a dual custom dyno tune. One for n/a and one for nitrous. All my switches are in my cup holder. So how that works is say i'm tooling along and someone want's to race, all i do is hit my arming switch (that instantly pulls me from n/a to nitrous tune) floor it, and haul a$$. For me it's the only way to go. I couldn't stand having to pull over and load a nitrous tune everytime i wanted to race or feel the extra power.
Don't get me wrong i'd much prefer a blower overall, but for the money i'm very happy with the nitrous. That and the fact that it runs stronger than most blown stock internal 2 valves. Another thing i kind of like is that i get to keep my n/a cams (mine won't work well with a blower) and get that nice choppy n/a cam sound.

Dont forget about a fuel pump! Youll need a "bigger" fuel pump to run the nitrous as well. Thats what everyone has told me atleast. If you want to go as safe as possible, you could also run a fuel pressure safety switch. Makes sure your car gets enough fuel and doesnt run lean.

Would a Focus fuel pump work?
Yep i run around with the bottle connected, and usually open.
As long as you're not running a big shot, the stock fuel pump should be okay. It's certainly never a bad idea, but probably not necessary.
I hear ya on the cams. $1200 or so just for the cams alone kind of makes it not such a good bang for the buck lol.

Hammach, listen to these guys. They all really know what they are talking about. I am currently getting my car on the spray and mrt has helped me the whole time. MRT will it hurt the motor if i just run on a nitrous tune all the time? Even when i am not using nitrous?
Some will say that the stock timing is fine on a 100 shot, but i'm not going to recommend it.
