Default Elect. WOT switch for nitrous?

What do you guys think of the electronic WOT switch for nitrous? Which one are you running and where did you get it?

Thanks in advance, TJ

On my C4 I mounted a Radio Shack microswitch to the throttle bracket. Since the C5 throttle is motorized, I am mounting one to the gas pedal.

Tony-

I have the BPP WOT switch installed with an NX kit. It seems to do the job ok, but I've seen better feedback from mechanical switches. It just seems that the electronic switch has a slight lag from the second that you romp on the pedal to when it kicks in. I've also had some problems where the torque management was kicking in and sapping some power. Those problems seemed to be alleviated with LS1Edit. Good luck.

Here are a couple of pics from my install. The first one shows the activate and purge button on a aluminum panel where the ashtray is. The other pic shows the FTPS mounted under the accelerator with a custom adjustable bracket. I think I bought the switch from Mouser.com for about $3
