arming switched used as NOS button?

Is it possible to use the arming switch as a button when you want Nitrous to hit?
I will have a window switch set at about 3000 for the "ON" so if I was above the 3000 rpm with the activation button "off" could I actually flip it to "ON" and will it spray right then since I will be above the "ON" rpm setting on the window switch?

Hope that makes sense..

thanks!

You could do it any way you want, but you'd probably want a WOT switch in there.

Sure. If I was doing it though, I'd probably have an arming toggle switch, WOT switch, fuel pressure cutoff switch, RPM window switch, and a consent button switch just to make sure nothing ever went wrong.

Just a trigger button, but you use it more like a deadman switch. If you let go of it, it shuts it off.

Sure, but redundancy is good.

Use a On/Off toggle swith to arm the system.
3000rpm window swith for safty.
Oil PSI and Fuel PSI units to cut it off if you loose either oil or fuel pressure.

and a Button to spray when you want. Its nice to be able to hit the button when you want instead of just at WOT.
