Well I just sent the money off today for Jon's HSW kit he was selling. So looks like I will be having this done sometime this winter.
I have a Harris Speed Works 90mm plate kit! It was originally a Dry kit and I purchased the dry-wet conversion for it so you can run it as either... wet or dry! System is complete! Comes with the complete plate system as well as MANY extras. What you get is:
HSW 90mm dry/wet plate kit, 10# bottle
HSW The Interface
HSW Microedge with Plus Progressive unit
HSW Billet Adjustable Bottle Bracket
HSW Dual outlet purge kit (NEW) w/ Install kit
Autometer Electronic Nitrous Pressure Gauge already wired in
HSW Remote Bottle Opener
HSW Bottle heater
HSW C5 switch panel

Basically you set shift points in it that coincide to boost levels. It mostly reads the clutch vs rpm to determine what next level it will go to. At least thats how I understand it. It can also be done with WOT switches setup around the shifter. With each gear it hits a switch and adjusts boost.

I have a new solution for the guys wanting boost by gear. MUCH simpler to install, more of a MPH related system, however, still switches within a given MPH window for the EBoost 2.
Oh, its a 1/3 the price, and takes 1/2 as much time to install
The problem with the plate on the torque tube, is that it will fail. There is no room in there for the switch plate, so one instance of axle hop, and it will break a switch. It might not do it the first few times, but they will fail. There is simply not enough room.
My new system is mph based, switching the grounds for the Eboost, within each gear window. Pretty neat.
The other issue that I ran into with the actual gear based system- Say you set the car into spin- Naturally, a good wheel man would short shift to the next gear. However, with the old setup, it would toss you into the next higher boost window, causing more spin.
Now, you can set SP 1-4 to an actual MPH.

If you don't mind a recommendation, try the car without changing the gears first if you have 3.42's. A car that makes good power doesn't need gears unless this is going to be a purpose built car and you're trying to be banging the rev-limiter through the traps or something. JMHO.
