Default Nitrous window switch suggestions

I am looking for some suggestions on my base settings for my nitrous window switch. I am launching off a transbrake I amusing an MSD 2 step rev limiter launching between 3,000 and 3,400 rpms depending on traction.I am shifting around 5,800 with the rev limiter set at 6,000 I am also running a wot switch. My power band is between 2,500 and 6,000 and I am running a 3500 stall. I was thinking of setting the window switch to turn on at 3,500 RPM and off at 5,800 RPMs any suggestions?

that sounds good to me, your "on" could be lower , like 3000

i doubt you'll drop below 3400 on the shifts, but in case you do you won't lose the juice while your down low

agreed. 3k is still safe enough as the velocity of the incoming air is high enough. it won't hurt to set it lower unless you are having serious traction problems, and at that end i say upgrade the tires/suspension

I am running BF good rich 255 drag radials 15psi at the track, adjustable upper and lower control arms, steeda drag springs, lakewood drag shock/struts. launching at 3,400 was consistently getting me 1.70 60ft times any higher launches caused me to spin and increased my 60 fttimes. with the rev limiter on the transbrake set at 3,400 I really dont think it would be a good idea to have the window switch set at 3,000. I don't have to leave on the transbrake at WOT but it sure makes it easier.
