Default What I did wrong with connecting my MSD window?

I can turn keys to run position (1) and press on WOT switch and it is spraying nitrous when it’s set to go on 3000rpm.

This is how I connected.

Red Wire - NOS arming switch center terminal

Black Wire - Connected to a ground.

White Wire - Spliced into the White Wire (Pin position #10)

Yellow Wire - Connected to the Micro switch (WOT) Ground terminal.

Appreciate any help.

Look on the side of the window switch, youll see a red wire and a blue wired both in a loop coming out and going back in to it. You have to cut both the wires. Everything works on the 4 cylinder mode for the LS1.

Except, DO NOT hook the red wire to a direct battery source. I kept killing my battery every 3 days and that was the problem <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

What Country said... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> Hook the red wire from the MSD to a SWITCHED 12V source. Funny how it takes 3 days to drain the batt, mine did the same thing when I hooked the red wire directly to the batt.
