lol...instead of it being a wide open throttle switch mounted under my pedal (drive by wire) that kicks on when i reach the rpm window can i just have a button in my hand that i can press and hold and when the rpms reach the window it sprays and stops right before the shift even though im still holding the button down. the wide open throttle switch under the pedal isnt very good because it gets pressed at half throttle

When I put the kit on my buddies G8, I used an electric TPS WOT switch, and a button. So has to be WOT and button has to be pressed for it to spray. The window switch and button would be a little more risky because if you forget to let off the button after racing, the RPMs will still most likely be in the spraying range after letting off the gas. With the WOT switch you HAVE to be WOT for it to spray. If that makes sense lol.

Nah I don't have a diagram sorry. If I remember correctly, there's an activation switch that uses power from the cigarette lighter, then the output of the switch goes through the button first, then out to power the electric WOT switch. So activation switch has to be on and button has to be pressed for the WOT switch to power on. Then the switch reads TPS voltage and will trigger the relay when at WOT. Output of relay goes to the noids and the noids are grounded.

I had a button in my B&M shifter handle (thumb operated)... I trusted my thumb more than my foot.... IF something happened, natural reaction would be to let go of the shifter and grab steering wheel 
If you wire the button in like the micro switch, it will work fine.

awesome thanks guys..i was testing out the button with the motor off and when i push the button the relay kinda buzzes. is that normal since the window switch isnt allowing it to activate the solenoid?

Your buzzing is probably caused by a wiring error. A buzzer is created when current to a relay's coil flows through the relay's contacts. Make sure that only solenoid current flows through your relay's contacts. Current to your relay's coil should only flow through your WOT, Push-Button, and arm switches.
