Default NOS 5177 Dry kit help

I think I am going to add a 100 shot with this kit.

I think I need a TPS switch instead of the WOT switch Since the Torque Management on the Auto closes the throttle valve even at wide open throttle.

If you only use a WOT switch under the gas peddle does the N20 still keep going during the shifts? Isn't this BAD for the engine? The throttle valve closes during shifts correct?

Can I use the arm switch to activate the N20 after I am in second gear since I don't want to hit it in first?

Someone said this is bad for the solenoids if you do that.

Any more info? Can't wait!!

I am in South Florida BTW if anyone wants to give me a ride in this N20 car

With an automatic the NOS can stay on. With manual, even if you speed shift, it's recommended that you turn it off between shifts. We use a switch connected to the gas pedal/linkage, so you can lift slightly between gears to turn it off.
