What is the best nitrous kit out right now? Any info would be appreciated, such as what kit and any recommended accessories, etc.

Thanks in advance!

I believe its NOS that has one that comes with a throttle body and everything so you don't need to tap into your existing one. I'd run a search for that one.

With no external throttle linkage how do you mount a WOT micro switch? Under the gas pedal? I already have no traction is first gear, is there some way to trigger the N2O only in second and higher gears?

I would like to have a progressive controller. You can adjust the nitrous to come on progressively over a period of time. I could program it to come on 2 seconds into the run at say 25% (on a 100 shot) and work up to 100% by say 10 seconds, or less, depending on traction, etc.

Use a digital window switch from Jegs. You can program it to come on at higher RPM (say 3800) or you can shoot it at 3000 RPM if you want to get some serious jump out of the car with a stock converter.
