Default WOT Switch Question

Question for everyone....

Why is it that all WOT switches I see attach by the throttle body and activate when the little butterfly thing next to the TB is all the way back....

the PCM registers 4.6 volts at WOT ... wouldn't a circuit of sorts that activates at 4.6 volts be better?

At 4.6 Volts it sends a ground signal activating the rest of the circuit.... I did some research and found out that a Supervisor Integrated Circuit could do the job...

Anyone else have an electronic/digital WOT Switch?

I'm thinking this would be much easier to hide as well...

Anyone have any schematics for this?

I just need to know the chips I need (I know a supervisor chip but which one?)

Thanks

I'm hoping to figure this out soon... It can't be that hard... just need a circuit that when voltage reaches above 4.5 volts it provides a ground signal.... I've got some resources at work i'm going to ask on Monday (they're engineers that design and build cell phones)
