Default Nitrous & Line Lock Buttons?

Any suggestions on where to put both buttons on an auto trans with the stock shifter ball/button?

In my old Camaro I used to purge my nitrous for a second as I soon as I could feel my tires starting to grab in the water box. I'm not sure how I can install both button so I can press both at the same time on my Vette. Maybe I could run my Nitrous button up to my steering wheel and the line lock button on the shifter?

Anyone running both buttons with a stock auto shifter ball?

I had the nitrous switch on the carb linkage so it was activated at WOT. The master switch was on the console. My line lok button was on the shifter right below the ****.

I'm racing street drags at a local airport in about 2 weeks and I'm not sure if I'll hook off the line if I activate on WOT. My first run will be a WOT launch but without any activation off the line to see how well I hook first.. However, I do plan on activating once I'm outta the hole, hence the reason I was hoping to install 2 bottuns.. I do like the idea of a WOT activation at the strip though.. I just installed some 28x11.5-16 M/T E.T. Street Slicks and they hook great on the road so I'm hoping for the same sticky results on the airport runway.
