I think i wouldn't trust the fate of my lt1 on that switch operating.
I think no one should run a manual WOT switch.
I think you should buy an hsw micro edge or something else of the sort.

thats what i think lol
P.S i broke my manual WOT switch like two days after install, and then it got wedged into my tb and stuck the throttle open, thats why i done like them.

An actual WOT switch is much mor sensitive then that junk heap. If its temporary then why dont you temporaryaly not drive your car untill you get a $4 WOT switch?

TPS activation is t3h win.

I wouldn't spray my **** with some ghetto rigged **** like that. Like they said order a 4 dollar switch or give me your address and I will send you one. That **** is just waiting to **** your **** up. Plus like you said its your daily driver, you don't have to spray it to get groceries.
