If you have a V8 why are you trying to run it in 4cyl mode?

so what am i doing wrong that this godamn thing isn't working cause like i said in 4cyl mode the damn thing reads like 1500 rpms more then it should what can i do to rectify this problem cause i have my nos kit hook in and i opted for no window switch so i need the shiftlite to work in order to know when to kill the nitrous flow..

on the autometer web site the say to only clip the orange loop. reconect the brown loop back together and it should work fine!
