just wondering which activation switch i should use on my setup, its a 331 carb motor, snyper nitrous kit, should i just use the micro WOT switch or should i use my zex digital window swtich or should i do both?

my concern with the micro wot switch is that how do i launch and go through first gear at WOT without the nitrous activating?

the window switch i can select what rom to come on and off and what gear to come on at, which i really like, only thing is what if something happens and im not WOT.

what should i do? which should i use? i already have the zex digital window switch which seems like a really nice pieace...

thanks for any tips and info in advance

Both WOT switch and a window switch.

Like Bentley said do both. That way you have to be at WOT and in the RPM window to spray. That is how I have mine set up.

both are suggested. i know a few guys only running a wot switch, but if you miss a gear, and go to wot, your going to be spraying nitrous and fuel, and its a very good chance you will way over rev the motor and hurt something.

you wire them both into the control side of the relay.

for a first gear lock out, you can buy a window switch with a first gear lock out such as the dynotune. or you can mount a wot style switch to the shifter base so that the switch is only in the interupt position while the shifter is in first gear. its more challenging, but cheaper.

oh ok, i understand, i guess ill do both...now is the cheap $13 dollar micro WOT switch from jegs gonna work for me?

the zex digital window switch i have lets me select what gear the nitrous comes on as well as what rpm...

now i read that the seloniods are not polarized so it doesnt really have a positive and negative, so how would i tie in the WOT,Window Switch and the toggle switch so that it works properly?
