Default 'GO' button, WOT Switch mount and FPSS

I'm running a TNT 100 Wet shot. The car is an M6 so I bought a Matthew Harlan window switch and a microswitch from Radioshack. My first question is when and how do I use use the nitrous? Do I just arm the system and when shifting into second gear push the button? I don't want a new clutch or rearend so I don't think spraying in first is a good idea. Someone told me I could spray at the end of first gear but I don't want to take any chances. Anyway, is that how I do it? Where can I mount the 'GO' button? I would like to put it on the steering wheel or on the shifter. Either that or put it on a wire so that I can pull it out when I need it and hold it in my left hand while grasping the steering wheel so I can stil steer and shift- if you can imagine that. My other question is this kit is used and didn't come with the WOT switch or bracket. Does anyone have any clear pictures of how and where they mounted the WOT switch? I'm gonna have to make my own bracket for it I guess. Finally, I'm not going over the 100 shot so I don't plan on installing or adding a bigger fuel pump. Should I get a FPSS in case the pump goes out so that it won't put straight nitrous into the system? Isn't that what the FPSS does? OR... do you guys recommend a fuel pump just to be safe?
P.S. This kit didn't come with any instructions either, can someone send or scan me the wiring diagrams? I would REALY apreciate it! Thanks - Mike W.

I have a Nitrous Works with Harlan Window switch and a microswitch on the throttle body. I have a new clutch since the old one had 34000 miles on it and I re-built the rearend with a set of Richmond gears. I spray in first gear, but not off the line. I run with drag radials too. I set the Harlan switch to 3500rpm on and 6000rpm off. I prefer the throttle switch over a go button because nitrous should only be used at wide open throttle. I am spray 150HP with an octane booster. If I left something else let me know

I think or at least everyone is telling me that I will need a new clutch even with just the 100 shot so I really do not want to spray in first just yet as I don't have the money for a new clutch right now. I know I could set up the system to spray at WOT when the window switch kicks in but I was thinking of adding another switch besides those and the 'arm' switch that would allow me to 'finally' arm it. That way I could go full throttle threw first gear and hit this button during the first to second shift- now do you see? I'm just wondering how I could mount that switch on the shifter ****. Also, I don't have the mounting bracket to mount the WOT switch. I need to make one but I don't have any pictures to go off of. I don't even know how the switch is mounted.

When I was still on the stock clutch I sprayed in first, but I was still on street tires. I would roll out with no wheel spin and even bogging the engine alittle until 3500rpm came in and then wheel spin all the way into second and spun them alittle after each shift. Now that told me that the clutch was holding with street tires. When I got my drag radials, the clutch pedal was soft after a run. The flywheel and the pressure plate was glazed over from slipping the clutch on daily driving.

But if you want a button on the shifter so that you have to remember to put it when you want to spray, Hurst makes a shifter that is threaded for the stock shifter. It's a T-handle though.

Something else I thought about. NOS makes a progressive controller that works off the throttle position sensor. It turns on a 2.5 volts and progressively sprays according to the position of the TPS. This would help in keeping from spinning tires and burning clutches.
