Go with a ZEX kit. It is really awesome and it will take care your fuel worries. If your all the way off the gas then then the nitrous should be off. That is if there is no delay. Correct me if I am thinking about this wrong.

just go with a WOT switch, you're going to be off of the throttle when you shift (i'm assuming that you're not power shifting) so all the other will be un-neccessary.

Yea, I wouldn't dare powershift on spray with a stock t5. That would be suicidal.

With the Zex kit, it only sprays at WOT, no other throttle postition. It uses TPS voltage wired to a Nitrous Management Unit as the switch, not an actually switch. As I understand it, I have heard it is bad to spray at anything but WOT, probably having to do with fuel pressure and fuel/nitrous mixture.

The Zex kit also will shut off nitrous flow if the Nitrous Management Unit see a drop in fuel pressure. I don't know if you got a kit or are piecing something together, but I thought I would mention it.

This is what I run.

The WOT switch is so that is engaged only when you are full throttle. The Window Switch is another safe guard, so if you miss that shift and then hit WOT in neutral… well, that's bad... mmmm kay

Right. I figure I'll have the setup within a couple weeks. By then I should have around $1,000 to sit on to make sure I can fix it when I break it.
