Window switch sprays nitrous between a certain Rpm window, i.e. 3,000 - 7,000 rpm.

I works off an aftermarket ignition system. Comes on at set rpm, turns off at set rpm.

What about those switches that mount on your shifter. I have heard about them, read about them www.nosnitrous.com but never have seen a picture of one... Does anyone have one? Can someone post a pic?

Nitrous Oxide is only to be used at WOT (wide open throttle). So the TPS switch mounts to your throttle body and when the accelerator is pressed down completely, the lever pushes the switch and turns it on. It is wired in series with the cockpit-mounted arming switch.

Here's how it works:
1. From a stop, turn on the arming switch.
2. Start accelerating, but not WOT.
3. When you want to spray nitrous, push the accelerator to WOT.
4. Fly, fly, away! Weeeeee! :)

Hope that helps. I don't have any good pics of the TPS and my car's in the shop for another 2 weeks but if you need any help hit me up on AIM.

Yes you can. I have an AT, so when I race from the line I can floor it until I'm above 2900 RPMS and then I flick the switch.
