I think the tach output is the number 10 pin on the red connector of the ecm. White wire. Other than that I don't know man.

No... you got some decent help and good directions in your thread... in addition to the clear and simple instructions with your window switch.
https://ls1tech.com/forums/nitrous-o...ow-switch.html

Your problem is... the car won't wire itself.
Do a little homework, do a search, read some books or magazines and LEARN about what you are trying to do to your car... instead of asking someone on this forum to cyber-wire it for you.

Did you not TEST it with a test light first ? That isn't in the instructions because it is just plain common sense...
By the time you are opening bottles and solenoids, you better KNOW it is working.

Well I hope it works for you... but you really should test it with a light before you turn the bottle on. You may find a problem... you may not... but it will be a whole lot better than finding a problem when the nitrous is flowing.

my stock clutch didnt think to highly of my 100 wet shot either. It let go around 5500 RPM. I was actually impressed it held that long

If nitrous is good for nothing else... it's at least good for pointing out what parts need to be replaced next... usually in the correct order too.

MSD Digital is much easier to deal with and well worth the extra money.
