The window switch is the best safety feature you can run on a car with nitrous.
On these cars rev limiter cuts fuel supply.The last thing you want to happen is to spray while having no fuel.
Also you do not want to spray at to low of a RPM.Doing so could cause a nitrous backfire from lugging the engine.

Ok so here is the fuctions of a window switch.
You would first set it at what RPM to let your nitrous system come on.I suggest nothing below 3,000 rpms.
So once you turn on the system and floor the car the microswitch will make contact and at 3000 rpms the window switch will let the system spray.

Second feature is RPM shut off.
So lets say your cars rev limiter is set at 6400 and you shift at 6200.You would set the window switch to turn off at 6200.This way if you miss a gear,late shift, or the tranny was to slip it would shut the nitrous off before hitting revlimiter.

This window switch is a cheap safety measure compared to the price of an engine.

200 RPM before the revlimiter is by far the most common and realy safe.

The timming tunner does have a built in window switch. It has a built in 3000 RPM turn on and a turn off choice for eithor 6000 or 6500 RPM(6500 for raised rev limiter cars).
