Default nitrous activation

im looking for some ideas on how everyone that uses nitrous activates the system at wot. I have a complete system off my old car and will only need to buy a plate to make it work on my vette. cant seem to get my car to run faster than 11.6@117 so im gonna just use this a handful of times to see what it will run on a 100 shot. thanks for your help in advance

Most people use a controller that has both a window switch and a TPS activation switch--I got mine from Dynotune Nitrous. They seem to be the best and have many C5 Corvette specific parts that work with the fly-by-wire throttle system--The controller also has a gear lock-out so you can delete activation in 1st gear and has 2 programs--that allow you to custom taylor your RPM activation and de-activation in every gear--very reasonably priced too--and helpful staff http://dynotunenitrous.com/store/scr...?idproduct=194
